While I am talking to you, I am only partly talking to you and JJ, I guess J/K is just kidding.



And yes, asking questions is a good thing. Unfortunately in this case, its too soon for answers.



This whole thing came about very innocently. I had seen a couple of vine snakes, over the last forty years I have been in that area. I remember the first one I found, I had my Land Cruiser, I took it to hunt Alterna a few times in the old days. Remember that one? I pulled up next to a larger adult vinesnake and said to myself, whats that thing doing here, then drove off to find Pyros. hahahahahahahahahahaha Those skinny things are not kingsnakes you know, so what good are they?



A few of my friends did the same thing. So at a monment of boredom, Hugh and I said, lets look in the wrong place and see what happens, So looking in the wrong place, we have averaged one a trip. On the road.



There are other possibilities as well, for instance, the babies are so dang small, that many people do not see them. Several were run over by herpers. What was really odd was, we would see DOR vinesnakes and all greenrats were AOR, not single DOR. Hmmmmmmmmmm have to think about that one. What else was odd, was finding tantilla crawling in the day, don't know why thats odd, just is.



I mean for vinesnakes to outnumber, gardersnakes, racers, gophersnakes, blacktails, is very odd. But then greenrats outnumbered the vinesnakes. But barely. Another oddity, ringnecks are fairly common, but never where the ratsnakes and vinesnakes are. So far. Another oddity is, there are westerns with the vinesnakes and greenrats and blacktails. But they are rare. Whats that all about? What does nature know, she keeps putting these things in the wrong place. hahahahahahahahahaha.



All in all, its just something to do, and fun. Remember the fun, DFR
