Somebody took the boards from my spot. The snakes found refuge under the boards, and now they're gone. When I first started herping at this hill I would sometimes find dead snakes, kill by crows and what not. That was before the boards were there. I put every single board down there. After the boards were there, I started finding more snakes. The population was thriving. Now the boards are gone. I still managed two find three snakes in the open. Since I was pissed off about somebody cleaning up the boards, I decided to take revenge on who ever could have done it. I was going to throw rocks at people below on the bike path, but then I decided that wasn't a good idea. So instead I went to the nearby community center and took boards and roofing material from around the premises. I put those down in the same spots where the old boards were. Nobody will ever stop my herping.

People are probably just trying to clean up the area and the boards are just junk and trash to them. I can understand why people would pick them up.

but still frustrating, nonetheless.

the snakes sake. Its too easy for people to find (and remove) snakes from under boards but people can't find them when they're hidden in their natural environment. The snakes are still there James, you just have to look harder. Remember, not everyone has the same kind intentions towards snakes that you have. Also remember that they have lived without boards for the last 100 million years or so and have done pretty well
