Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have a bit of a list of snakes I would love to come across in the wild.The common kingsnake, the bull/gopher snake and a milksnake.All of these should be in my area somewhere in Central KS.Any suggestions as to when(mnth and time of day) and where(specific locations they might hang out)?????
so far last year I found these.Common garters,plains garters,lined snakes, ringnecks(vast quantities) and an emorys ratsnake(very cool) as well as alot of different unidentified watersnakes.Oh and one small copperhead.

i dunno about locations but this afternoon was great, 3 adult prarie kings within 50yds of each other

I love my country but I'm scared to death of its government
Ya believe what you read cause it's all that we give ya
Cause all of history is written by winners
I'm engaged in a frenzy of mass self-destruction
I feed upon your famine to fuel my corruption
I'm wholeselling hatred and international incest
To carnivorous hyenas in a global theft fest
I've mastered the arts of death and foreign nations genocide
And those who turn on me commit national suicide

I'm the queen of the global dream
And I rule a declining nation
I sit and watch all the violent screams
From the throne of your desperation
W.A.S.P.

I'm with you on kings...I can't find 'em in the field. And my parent's find speckleds in their yard, lucky people... Bulls/gophers I've found most often (here in Amarillo) morning/early afternoon in the mid-high 70s. They seem to be generalist. I've found 'em in prairie, on rock, in cactus patches, in a tree once (who says they don't climb), on the road, in parking lots...one got inside a retail store I worked at, winning the award for most surprising find ever. I've found 'em in city parks, rocky slopes...yeah, pretty much any habitat we have locally.

Should be pretty easy, just find an east-west dirt road and find a rock cut, go to the north bank and start flipping rocks.

Kerby...

I hunt central kansas quite a lot and find all 3 on a regular basis and all in similar habitat. Time of the day doesnt seem to play to much into it ive found a lot in the morning and in the afternoon. I drive backroads looking for south and west facing rock cuts, outcroppings, and rocky hillsides. Depending on temps and rain as to wether high up or down low on hill is better but i flip any and all rock small to very large. Also rocky dry creek beds and gullies are good. Old farmsteds and junk pyles with carpet, wood, and tin can be real good. As far as temp goes usually middle to end of april when its consistently 50 nightime low and 70 daytime high into the end of may when temps are 60/80 is best time temp. Hope this helps keep us posted on your finds and maybee we'll cross paths on the backroads.

I wrote down all the tips and will start looking here soon..
