It's not that I'm not good at finding snakes, it's that I simply cannot find them here and now. When I was small I would find hundreds of snakes during the Spring and Summer. As far as "not knowing anything" goes, I understand where that statement is coming from, but I've been an avid herper since I was 10. I've had great success over past years, but Knoxville has proved ,er, different. FR, maybe you turned over too many rocks while you were here LOL!. ...I used to live about an hour and a half away from where I'm located now(Chattanooga).

I try to read any piece of literature I get can get a hold of. As far as I know, I'm probably one of the only preteens that found it fun memorizing scientific names of different species and their behaviors/locations-habitats/etc on a daily basis. As of right now, I am an undergrad but full-time caretaker in the University of TN's Herpetology "lab"............so I dare say an effort is made to learn.

I do try to time my herping in the early morning or right before dusk, and I have tried other times throughout the day too. I heard that after dusk can be successful during warmer nights, but haven't tried that yet but will once the weather permits?---Anybody concure/refute?

Most of the foothills I visit have very distinct "faces", but I must admit that I haven't paid much attention to what I find and where I find it.....................perhaps a field logbook is in order.


Can somebody kindly elaborate on what kinda of micro-dwellings are likely to attract prey, but repel predation?

Thanks guys
