>>And Toby, both Bogertophis and Senticolis have been found in trees, bushes, and in stuff like acacia. But, you're right -- it isn't very common (and usually there isn't a tree in sight where subocs are found anyway). If they were named for their habits, Bogeys would be called Desert Rock-dwelling Snakes and Green Rats would be called Beneath-Boulder Snakes.

Actually Dusty, I figured that subocs and greens had been found in trees before - but did not think of this until after I posted my response (should've checked my books before making that statement). And, having herped the Trans-Pecos region, I can say that there are plenty of trees and bushes there. I would imagine that greens and subocs would climb trees to find food, just as the other lampropeltini will. Mostly, I think we herpers find snakes where it is most convenient for us - on the road or under a/c, etc.
