This is a question for anyone that has herped for rubber boas or knows a bit about them.

I am traveling to Washington( I leave Wedn.) and I will be staying there for the entire winter working at Mt. Baker Ski Resort. I've only herped down here in the southeast and briefly in the midwest, so I have no knowledge of west coast herping.

I was wondering if trying to find some at this time of the season is useless and I should just wait until spring, or if there is a chance of finding them this time of year. I;ve been told temps there are only about 50's daytime.

I'm not asking for specific locations etc as I have a range map and I personally wouldn't give out specific spots either. Any tips on time of day, elevations, climatic factors would be great. I'd assume my only chance of finding one is flipping.

Are there any laws in Wa that would require special permits(i.e. fishing license) to photograph one in the wild?

Thanks in advance for any help.
