I've only herped kings in TX and NM to date, but what works for me is new moon or cloudy night, low barometric pressure, going before or after rain. for road crusing or walking cuts, thats what I was told to look for as a kid and it's worked so far.

if you want to go walking/ hiking during the day look for dumps, falling down buildings in rural areas, or if you have access to private ranches, looking under old tin that has been sitting forever or under stacks of haybales works well.

i've never placed AC myself, just been lucky enough to stumble upon lots left around by ranchers an farmers who ironically usually hate snakes, but give them plenty of places to live.
