How may of you have this where the spot/locality has produced year after year after year ? I had 3 in my life time with 2 STILL producing and even multiple species. Unfortunately , one went to bull dozing for condos.

I have a few spots where scarlet kings seem to be abundant year after year and I had a spot where eastern coachwhips had a haven but condos had won the battle over that peice of land too...and I found a spot in sumter co. where southern hognose seem to be common in may and oct...every year. JB

Ive got an oreganus den that I have been visiting for about 20 years, I commonly see 5 or more snakes at this site, the most being 23 in a day. This spot will never be developed, its in a watershed on Mount Tamalpais and will be there long after Im dead and decayed. Only other snakes Ive seen there were pituophis, and charina, kings are lower down in the grassland and Mtn Kings are higher up.
