Well we ddidn't have any droughts in Jawaw, but I noticed a big drop in middle GA from kingssnakes. Ever since I moved here in '92 the pops have gone way down. I sued to find eastern kings everywhere. zNo they are a rarity. But what has gone up in populations (especially at the tree lines) are the fire ants.
and I am sure they (the ants) are the culprit. Probably destroying the snake eggs and also choosing the same places as the kings along tree lines as their favorite haunts. Also we have way more copperheads now. Maybe it is because they are live bearing and the ants can't get at their eggs and they don't hang out at tree lines.
