hey sid , i hear ya on that , ive done a good amount of walking around already this year, we havnt realy had anydays over 60 though back in december i got a 70 degree day up here in PA and i went down to a different park away from a creek and i found one eastern garter and about 10 brown snakes(storeria dekayi) all basking about 10 ft from each other . ive noticed the only times have been seeing sights like this are on warm nears and near or around a big cliffface/hills probly coming right out of there den. like i said after an hour of searching yesterday i had nothing on the one side of the creek once i went on the other side it was a goldmine .
i was ttalking to afriend that was doing construction more towards the appalachian mountains in PA and said they found like 100 snakes of alltypes n sizes under a foundation of a house . i told him to setup cameras when the weather gets nice and perhaps try n get some footage of them emerging .
