Kyle, thanks, that was helpful. I believe many species of snakes are very dependent on their acquired knowledge of their immediate habitat and may not be able to relearn quickly enough where they can find food , shelter, and water. Part of me will be very said if I can never find a copperhead on my property again, but when I found 3 crawling around w/in 100 feet of my home one evening I began to wonder if you can have too much of a good thing. BTW, I leave AC all over to attract herps. but I found here in the Southeast you MUST use AMDRO if you get any fire ants moving under the AC. 3 times I have returned to my AC a day after finding a snake and found a snake skeleton because I must have disturbed the ant nest. snakes are sitting ducks for fire ants. use AMDRO bait and save some snakes.
