Re: Milksnake Hibernaculum
Thanks Scott! I have never had much of a problem locating the ones in northern Colorado, but SE Colorado can be a trick. You pretty much have to cruise them at night and it appears to be random when they do show up. Man we gotta get together, maybe in the spring?
Good to hear from you,

Re: Milksnake Hibernaculum
I guess the person that just posted didn't read that the snakes scattered. Trust me I would have loved to have gotten that in situ shot!
I also want to add that milk snakes feel good in the hand, and my touching them will have no impact on their millions of years worth of adaptation skills.

Cole the soil was sandy and it was located next to a dry river valley on a south facing slope. The habitat was shortgrass prairie in sandhills.

Re: Milksnake Hibernaculum
Hey thanks guys! It is unusual to find them this way but gentilis are fairly cold tolerant. The days before were very warm so it sparked some activity, and it's not too unusual for snakes to sit outside of their dens for a couple weeks before hibernation.
Bryan send me a PM about that if you like.
