I agree. Out here in west Texas, easterns are most prevalent in sandy soil. In your area, I would look for them in sand dunes along the river. Id see them in oklahoma along the arkansas river in areas sparsely vegetated, sunning or on the hunt just the same as westerns. Sunny, sandy, and sparse, and you should do well.
Same as your ratsnakes, flip for them. I've seen them under limestone rocks, tin, etc.
Good luck and post pics. Some of those places have snakes with nice colors.
