In FL. you can literally go from dry very sandy soil and scrub to wet very boggish soil in just a few yards. Most everywhere in the state. A foot in elevation can make all the difference and of course easterns are found in many habitats at various times of the year. I have found them coiled up inside rotted (wet) pine trees and of course the obligatory dry sandy gopher holes in the hot arid scrub. So really, given their extensive range, they must use a wide variety of habitat for cover and hunting needs. They adapt to different habitat--just not to the ever diminishing SIZE of the habitat due to fragmentation.
FL has a hundred "special interest" auto tags--from universities to "save the whales". Do you think we'll ever have an indigo plate??
Maybe if I design one with a gopher tortoise on it too. hmmm....
