Dusty, plains, and eastern hognosed range into Kansas. In your neck of the woods, well plains, your most likely to find the eastern and plains. The dusty is in the south central portion and only ranges up a little ways into KS.



You should get out and look for Great plains rats, Prairie kings, Central plains milks, Osage copperheads, Western massasauga rattler, and right on the border of prairie rattler range. I never did see any rattlers while out there, but I did see plenty of osage copperheads. I relocated a bunch of babies from our housing area on Ft Riley while I lived there!! A female must have given birth pretty close to my house, because for about a week I was catching them in my yard and driveway. Fearless little buggers, striking at anything that got near them. I had to warn the neighbors so their kids would be on the lookout, and so no one would mess with them and get bitten.



Keep us posted on what else you find out there!

>>awesome! this is the first king we've found, lots of water snakes, the occasional ringneck, and tons of collared lizarsa around though. Being from Maine, the diversity of herps here is great. Do you know anything about hognose snakes in Kansas?
