I've been trying to catch an eastern milksnake (lampropeltis triangulum triangulum), without success for a while now. I've mostly been digging around junk piles; flipping boards and tarps over. I've seen plenty of garters but nothing else...

Does anybody have any tips? It's been a very rainy spring, could that have anything to do with my bad luck? Am I searching in the right places? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You!
