The area has a lot of potential to have a nest in a spot where it will likely never be found, but I have been keeping my eye out for signs of others and for neonates. Been only a week so I got 40-50 days-ish before they are supposed to hatch if they are there. I might not even get the chance though because the area is also crawling with black racers which, you likely know, would love to eat a snake smaller than they are. And also yeah I know not to allow prejudice affect studies, as hard as it may be when I do surveys on land with gopher tortoises before a future housing development.
And yeah I don't quite get the point of radio tracking a snake over distances. It just gets bothered and moves again when if left alone may not have moved. I do however get using them on relocated tortoises and crocodillians just to keep tabs on them because over their tendency to attempt to go in the direction of their original home but that's a different herp so...yeah hahah.
