Hey, Dusty,
Your right. They are allot alike.
Not only the Hs but the side blotches as well.
.
The first two nights were good conditions.
.
First two nights and days, Davis Mountains, produced:
This year’s Western Diamondbacks (Crotalus atrox) TMTC (too many to count)
Last year’s Mottled Rock Rattlesnake (Crotalus lepidus) 1
Juvenile Baird’s Rat Snakes (Pantherophis bairdi) 2
Trans-pecos Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) 1
Texas Night Snake (Hypsiglena torquata) 1
Kansas Glossy Snake (Arizona elegans) 1
Great Plains Rat Snake (Pantherophis guttatus) 1
This year’s Sonoran Gopher Snake (Pituophis catenifer) 1
Western Coachwhip (Masticophis flagellum) 2 TTTC (Too Tired to Chase)
Trans-pecos Rat Snake (Bogertophis subocularis) 2
.
Of course, we're 99.8% catch and release, but the first two subocs were my 0.2% for this year!
.
We were in Terlingua on the fourth night and we started finding a high count of Texas Night Snakes and WDBs. Those together in numbers seem to be the kiss of death for subocs!!!
.
Only saw the River Road animal.
The full trip report is elsewhere on the net on field herping.
.
Email me if you want the exact location of the subocs.
.
You must be going crazy on those eggs you’re cooking!!!!
Good Luck and keep us posted.
