Heading back to the den this afternoon. Today and tomorrow are going to be in the 60's so there should be some activity.
After than we're back in the 40's for highs.

Spent 2 hours at the den. Cloudy, 54 degrees and a cool breeze. That's 10 degrees colder than yesterday.
I did see one snake down in the hole but he disappeared. I didn't see any snakes outside at all.
Hoping tomorrow will be better.
I've got a Grad. Student visiting the Ranch on Tuesday. We're also planning on a den visit.

Woke up this morning to 64 degrees.
Hope the rain will hold off until after my visit to the snake den.
Calling for a high of 70 today.
Tomorrow highs in the 40's.

Not a good day at the den. Only 2 snakes out while I was there. Overcast and windy.
Rain about to move in. Looks like I'll have to wait a week or so before they come back out.

Same story around here. I doubt there's anything going on beside the occasional northwestern poking out now and then. I'm sure they want to come out but it's just too cold for even them to be active.
