do you loom for browns and redbellies the same way you do a ringneck. like under debris and rocks and logs and such? are they common snakes in the northeast? if they are, they are prety damn good at hiding i guess.

Redbellies don't live right near me so I don't know them as well, but for brown snakes, go in the morning or evening (heck, try the day too) to vacant lots, cemeteries, and trashpile somewhere you think there would not be a lot of pesticides sprayed. Look under logs, rocks, and other debris.
I tend to find brown snakes under all kinds of cover, but especially near thick vegetation under cover that gets some sun. They seem to have a switch I don't understand - I looked in the exact same spots around the same pieces of cover in April and found nothing, and then at the end of May, bam, I started finding tons of them. A lot have been gravid females, but also smaller ones and other adults that don't look gravid. Follow the link below to see a lot more details on the brown snakes I've been finding and how and where.
Good luck,
Billy
