Yep, this merits a new post....I'm waiting on some first-hand experiences from Japan, but at this point my hypothesis is that conspics are probably more numerous in the foothills, between say 200 and 800m. Therefore, I think stereotyping the species as montane is stretching it, but certainly a snake that prefers cooler temps. On the matter of temps, I personally think that many snakes from the semitropics and tropics are kept warmer than necessary. So I suppose you answered your own question in regard to high latitudes?
