thats the typical way I find them!! I was pulling four plus footers from behind stored equipment,drums and abandoned buildings at a job site in central Texas five years ago almost daily LOL!! We would find tons of sheds hanging from the piping and rafters inside the abandoned buildings on that site alot too. Their blotches were very large and VERY dark colored compared to the LA Texans, and all were NASTY tempered LOL!!! They almost looked like black rats to me, but were out of black rat range. Maybe black rat influence? This was in Temple Texas, about 60 miles or so north of Austin. I find decent orange background colored ones here in Baton Rouge. In fact, found a nice three foot subadult road cruising last spring I actually thought about keeping. Me and my buddy were actually able to get it off the road without it striking or hissing!! Pretty mellow dude!! However, most just bow up and strike like the devil LOL!!
