| Me and my wife brought her parents who were visiting from Maryland to Snake Road this weekend. Since this was their first herping experience we stuck to the road and didn't explore the bluffs and we made just one trip up and down the road each day.
On Saturday one trip up and down the road produced:
2 Western Cottonmouths
2 Yellowbelly Water Snakes
2 Northern Ringneck Snakes
2 Rough Green Snakes
We missed out on the same timber rattlesnake that Indianaherp mentioned. Someone had also seen a hognose on the road. Most people were reporting that the action was slow, but people were seeing a few snakes at a slow but steady pace. The foot traffic was fairly heavy on Saturday.
On Sunday the cottonmouths really started moving:
One trip up and down the road produced:
9 Western Cottonmouths
1 Yellowbelly Water Snake
1 Southern Black Racer
Also:
2 Northern Slimy Salamanders
1 Central Newt
1 Green Tree Frog
The most interesting snake I heard about the second day was someone seeing a juvenile Western Mud Snake on the road. Human traffic was lighter on Sunday.
For just one trip up and down the road I thought the cottonmouth action was pretty good the second day. |
