John,
OUTSTANDING. These are becoming scarcer and scarcer in the wild esp. in Alabama. This study is taking place in the Desoto Natnl. Forest I assume? A friend of mine (not a herper) found a sub-adult lodingi on the outskirts of Theodore Al. where he lives on his way to work one morning about 10 years ago. The second one he saw in 20 years, and he hasn't seen any since. Olive Griffith Stull was right, these truly are one of the 'Vanishing Americans'. Let's all hope enough habitat is preserved for these magnificent snakes.
