Field Research and Data
Black Kingsnake Lampropeltis getula nigra
 
In 2002 Will Bird and Phil Peak decided to forge a field partnership in an effort to learn more about the isolated population of corn snakes that exist in Kentucky. In addition to this goal, Will and Phil had a broad interest in the herps (reptiles and amphibians) of their home state and decided to make as many contributions as they could in the way of field observations. Beginning in January 2003 every herp seen was identified to the subspecific level and charted to the quarter quad on the DeLormes Atlas. Therefore, much of the content of this site is based on what they have discovered about the Black Kingsnake in their many outings in the field.
