a lot of snakes are found at the boundaries of habitats. So in a farmland situation, you might look for old buildings, log piles, etc., at the edge of wooded areas, rather than in the middle of the fields. I know the subspecies can be different in a lot of ways, but i caught a florida king literally in a backyard, in a situations where the backyards of a row of houses at the edge of a heavily populated area backed up to really tiny remaining wooded habitat adjacent to a highway. I caught a black king under a rock on the hilly berm of a two-lane highway in kentucky. I've been with guys in virginia who caught chain kings in fields behind convenience stores, in trash piles at the intersections of interstate highways, under fallen billboards adjacent to four-lane highways, but in all these instances the finds were at the intersection of those busy, populated areas, and fields or woods--the edges of different habitats.
