Found this poor animal lying motionless in the parking lot at the Marine Lab Education Center Key Largo. I  walked around the compound that evening looking for Geckos and Anoles or anything else I could find that night.  When my head lamp beam illuminated this guy I thought for a moment that maybe it could be something dangerous given the bright coloration. In Florida thre are many species of snakes (and god knows how many exotic ones ) and of one I certainly didn’t want was a bite from- the coral snake.  Once my eyes adjusted I could tell it was a corn snake. Unfortunatley it had been  mortally wounded by a local cat.
