   Whats the latest into the winter that anyone has found a snake. I found a garter last Dec 15th but the first half of last winter was pretty mild.

   Anyone got any good ones?

   Ive seen garters in november on mild days but the best had to be a YOY timber that surfaced in carbon county on a wierd 70 degree day January 1st, 2007! Biologists looking for Allegheny woodrat habitat found the confused little snake.

   On a warm sunny day in late november a couple yrs ago, i seen a black rat snake layin on a main road aside of an old barn. Was just a reminder that I had the whole winter to go till I could go after snakes again!

   A timber in winter would be sweet. A park ranger in WV told me once they see them out till the end of Nov.

   I have better luck with frogs and sallys in winter, usually do not even have snakes on my mind by then. :)
