Looking for den sites in Iowa.

Thanks for the heads up on the feelings of den locations and I respect that. Do you have an idea of my other question of den activity? I am going to be getting a garter soon so I was just wondering it is best to look. Thanks!

Steve had one out in his yard yesterday (take a look at the thread it's called something like "T radix ranch wild garters"), so they do come out to sun themselves on warm days. I believe that they won't venture far from the den until sometime in April, Steve's the best person to tell you when to expect to see them out and about as he's in your state and knows a lot about the local species.
