snakes and altitude???????

adamjeffery Nov 20, 2006 02:05 PM

background info: nw pennsylvania/sw new york(on the border)im on the new york side
snakes in question are eastern milks, possibly black rats and possibly rattle snakes
my normal elevation is 1200-1800ft but this new site is 1800-3000ft

well yesterday i was out hunting(whitetailed deer) on some land that i am not familiar with and it is at a higher elevation where their is alot of boulders and rocks, and i found some old sheds that are falling apart and even some old garbage dumps from back in the day. all i could think was that it looked like the perfect spot for herping. my only questions are if herps like the higher altitudes or not.

They are likely not denning that high up, but yeah, all of those species will travel as high as 3000'. However, I know of only one spot north of West Virginia where you will routinely find timbers above 3000' in elevation.
