I posted this on the Field Forum, but thought some of you rat snake enthusiasts that don't use that forum might like this photo. I found this little tyke in Marinette Co., WI on Monday.

Nice pic, Tim. That's a good late record for vulpina.

Not sure what you meant. I've found fox snakes well into October, so it's probably not the time of year. Are you talking about it's state of development? The color on the tail was very interesting.
I had him in my backpack for a while, but had second thoughts and took him back. If he turned out to be a picky eater, the release option would not be there since it's so late. I sit here today wishing I would have kept him though

...was the record for fairly late in the season. I don't see much of anything after mid-September. Of course, we don't have fox snakes in this part of Michigan. But my latest record for a massasauga is Sept. 8th. What else can you find in October?

Fox snakes, garters and hoggies seem to hang on longer than most around here. On sunny, cool days though you never know what you'll find. I have a couple more trips to go before I give up this year.
