I just went on an expeditionary raid at the old train tracts near my house, it used to be absolutely infested with garter snakes, and occasionally a few ribbons. However... that was several years ago, when there were large puddles and marshes. Ever since they put the water resource management center and the associated parking lot the place has been dry and large portions of it are impassable due to thick brush. I flipped half a dozen logs and pieces of trash but no luck yet. the two chunks of plywood I have on my lawn have also failed me as of yet.

I don't remember them being this difficult to find, if any of you could offer some suggestions that would be good.
