Speckled kings are good snakes to keep around - alive. They are great mousers and eat venomous snakes (if you worry about that kinda thing).

Never will I kill a king snake. To me, they are ( to wax a little spiritual here ) protectors. Like dogs, I feel a bond with them. Perhaps just a love for their purpose.
