Posted by: flherp at Tue Oct 6 21:31:41 2009 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by flherp ] Considering the area involved is not traversed by roads with the exception of a few areas, road mortality is not likely to be high. Those who study amphibians, turtles and lizards have an easier time establishing populations as the majority are far easier to locate. These are ambush predators with cryptic coloration that avoid predation by remaining still - this really complicates locating them in natural areas. There are some areas where they are found fairly often in numbers that I find kind of amazing for a predator of this size - an 80+ acre field yielded 44 after discing (average length 6' or so). That is a pretty high density, but not likely to be representative of what you would find in a natural or undisturbed area. | ||
