4 of my kids and myself made a 25 minute drive to a place called Wilson Island. We have always found plenty of T. sirtalis here. For the first time I got skunked. The only Thamnophis was this dead radix. This was the first time I've ever found a radix at this location.


Then we found this beautiful Bull Snake(Pituophis melanoleucus) along the road. She was very calm and spent the next couple hours with us before we released her.


Here's a look at the area. Lots of frogs for the Garters here.


This is the roadside area we usually find many T.sirtalis No such luck this day
