Who knows how hot those cuts really are?
People with temp guns know.  At least the surface temps, anyway. I'd be interested in seeing a) how far into the underground labyrinths the snake go during the day or off-season and b) what kind of cues they use to determine when to come out, since if they're in deep enough, the temperature/humidity light penetration is fairly constant.
I try to take surface temps of both sides of a cut (each side of the road), especially on north-south roads since the eastern cut should be warmer (facing the afternoon sun), to see if it makes a difference on snakes found. The problem with this is that I hardly find any snakes.
