All AC is good. It creates habitat that heats quicker and provides shelter from most predators. While you say you cant find snakes in TN now, I know my old buddy Chuck in MD(about the same latitude more or less)has found kings in every month except Jan. A warm day in the 60s will get stuff moving, 2 days in a row I guaranttee you should find something. Keep records, good start, but if you have access to the LAB(!!) most specimens actually have where they are found on the label right?? Find a location or 3, visit the area NOW and tell the landowner you are a biology student at the local college(usually works well). I bet there is a pile of junk somewhere on the farm/property. Take this pile and set up a perimeter of AC you can flip...but never take the whole thing apart. This way you wont "ruin" any habitat and you can find out if there are snakes there relatively quickly. Soon you will find the food chain dynamics, the use of the cover by prey. A temp gun is an investment. Get out there ASAP, be glad you dont live up here in New England....spent the nite digging out of a snowbank on the side of Killington Mt,VT....friggin COLD.
