I found this corn snake stretch and basking in the morning sun along L. Pond Road in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. This is one of the most beautiful corns I've ever seen. He/she was particuarly vivid... Perhaps he/she had just recently shed? Or maybe it was the morning light... Whatever the case may have been, this dude was remarkable. Just lovely.
