Essex County. I catch some of mine in an area between Harold Parker and Boxford State forests. In fact one locations (different from where the snakes I posted were caught) is in the North Andover side of Boxford State Forest. Garters, ribbons, milks, waters, racers, blandings turtles, theyre all there. The place I caught the snakes I posted was near a "dump" for compost and leaves and such in North Andover in northeastern MA.
