i was stoked! an elusive snake for me for some reason. I've found a bunch of DOR in west tenn, a few still half alive. One was ground in half and when i picked up the head end it nailed me like crazy. Guess i can't blame him I'd be a little upset myself. Anyway I've only found one other one than the one in the picture, It was a little guy. It was in Chickasaw park in west Tenn

sorry hit the button too soon. anyway flipping boards and tin. I like good plywood, but most people like tin. i actually found him under tin too, mabe i should rethink the plywood thing... anyway, just look around old barns for stuff to flip. most people are cool about it if you ask them first. They normally want you to. good luck tho, and let me know what you find

Yeah, I wanted to know if all the corns you've seen have got that dirty pattern. I really dig it.

herpermike1 Jul 04, 2007 10:33 PM

to some extent, yes. they don't all have the really dark grey to almost black area towards the tail. normally the ground color is anywhere from really light grey to almost charcoal. the blotches are anywhere from pumpkin to rust color. but anyway, yes they all have that cool "dirty" look. Now i've only found them as far east as chattanooga. not sure beyond that point how they look.
