The records were considered valid, but the last one was from the 40s. The specimens were collected near Wheatland in Knox County. Seems like that population is considered to be extirpated. There are records of other sand prairie species, like Slender Glass Lizards, Ornate Box Turtles, and Racerunners also in that general area, so the Bull Snake records don't seem that far fetched.
I've thought about hunting that area, but haven't made it down that way yet. I haven't talked to any Indiana herpers who have herped down there, but then again, I haven't talked to many Indiana herpers.
