I stated that what I see is congregations and not mass dennings for clarification purposes of what my observations have been. I was not implying that you were talking about were mass dennings. It was clear to me you were talking about a handfull of snakes.



There is no better method of observing wild kingsnakes here than AC. Natural cover works better for some species. Milk snakes for example are more likely to use rock cuts. I do agree with you about handling the snakes and how this will alter what they are doing. We do that sort of thing often to take pics, measure and do scale counts occasionally and you bring up a good point. Thanks, Phil
