**What your doing will not work. The reason is, snakes do have behavior, not just picking temps or finding food. Then have behaviors to avoid predators. By disturbing them, moving their cover, they have no choice but to avoid that area**

Yes, I believe that to be true...IF...it is in a harassing manner. Learned behavior to avoid predation. But without giving specific locations on this forum (I can e-mail and tell you though) this site is near water, water that fluctuates and moves the boards and logs throughout the year up and down the bank. The only time it is stable is but for a few months when there is no rain. Rains come and when I go back the cover has moved. Snakes are still there. Also, there is human foot traffic in the area.

Also, I do not remove the cover, only lift it and put it back down. And without marking snakes, I wonder how many times I see the same snake???

My idea is to see how long into the season I can still find snakes in this area. I do not believe that frequent visits will reduce my sightings because I am spooking them.
