Did you contribute any personal photos to the creation of the video?

Ya all of the pictures were mine. I actually found one of you and Hannah with a kingsnake while I was digging them up, if you ever need more photos of you two with snakes let me know
![]() It's sad to say but kingsnakes are not doing well in parts of the southeast even where the habitat should be great for them and produced large quantities in the past. In MO, they are very common and hopefully they will stay that way. |

I tried to start a program to protect the kingsnakes on the State property where I worked. I asked the local extention agent for photos so that workers could identify the kingsnakes and not kill them. This was after a particularly gruesome killing that left bloody snake parts on the front porch of the historic building where I worked. He --the agent -- said ' personally I would just kill them.'
Unless we get better educational programs for forest and grounds people -- the kingsnakes and all others will be threatened in this part of the country. As you can see from the list in the link above The Eastern Indigo is already threatened and possiblly gone. |

Those photos simply had to be yours. Would they be from your new camera?
I would very much appreciate being sent the photo you found. Thank you so much for asking. The other photo is framed.
