I was wondering if you or anyone here had done studies or kept records on the dispersal of neonates (any species or ssp. will fit here) and just how far they may range from their hatching site and how long that may have taken.
I think in some cases the dispersal of the neonates is rather quick and sometimes (relatively)over a large range.
Obviously you find some snakes in their "home range" many times but are you also finding ones that have "disappeared" for some time to return to the area they were hatched/born??
Just some things that I would like to hear from experienced herpers that might help me understand more of the natural history of snakes.
Thanks for any and all replies....and of course if there are citations, I'd love to read up!
