Hey Rich,
Gave up on the LA pines...got rid of my last one about two weeks ago. For you to get the rat snakes...may have to do night cruizin. A copperhead is unusual there....might be a released animal. Had a friend in Lake City who told me that he seen about 30 pines a year...I've seen 15 in 50 year...including DOR!! Go tell. Glad to hear that the indigos are thriving there. They are fairly common in the Tampa Bay area as well. Good to hear from you and keep on herpin.
