    Spring, Summer, Fall.....I find that the best times is to go out the day after a cool or wet night (not tons of rain, just light showers or drizzle). The snakes will be out in the sun the next day warming themselves up. Also, if you go after rains, you're more likely to see amphibians out and about....and garters looking for them as well. Usually if it's been really hot and dry out, you're not going to find anything unless you look around water areas.

    I can't wait until spring. When I go turkey hunting again (assuming I do) there is a pond maybe 50 yards in diameter with a good THOUSAND frogs. If you walk within 200 feet of it you start seeing frogs like crazy. Also there is a creek with a some rocky ledges looking into it where I caught what I'm pretty sure was a baby timber rattlesnake deer hunting. Good thing I didn't say "yes" when my dad said "do you want to keep it?".
    WOOHOO 400!!!
