    I would just go look outside before it gets too hot in the morning, then I'd look again in the evening when it starts to cool down.

    As Elliot said. Early morning or later after the sun goes down. The best places are under rocks, or wood and things. They like to hide and stay safe. They leave to sun themselves during the day. You can also kinda bait them by putting out things for them to hide under. Leave them for a couple weeks, then go back and lift them up and see if any have made it a home. Remember to put it back in the same spot you had it. Good luck

    Definitely. I've found many under old pattets. If you can put out a few in different places to give them a choice. Lots of things work. I found a place with an old rain coat on the ground. To this day I keep going back every so often and I've found and caught more than 20 snakes in or under it. Let us know how you do.
