William's garter snakes.

Good choices.

I would probably answer...


2. Rubber boa's because I have to keep coming up with plans how to find them, I've never seen one before.
4. I want to eventually find a rubber boa.

They're very secretive. You have to look under things in an area where they are known to occur. In the northwest, I usually find them under boards, tin, etc. in grassy clearings near forests when the weather is cool in the spring or fall. They disappear in mid summer when it's hot or during long dry spells. I've found orange ones, chocolate brown, and even military green.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up.

Whoops, I was replying to your last reply...

Also, thanks for info, and I didn't know they could be that color.

Hmmm...favorite snake...right now that would have to be eastern garters. Favorite snake to look for...right now that would also have to be eastern garters because they are the only kind I have looked for around here so far. Now that I know the different kinds of snakes in Delaware, I would like to find a corn snake in the wild, and also a timber rattler...that would be really cool.

[frostyftw]

Good choices.

[EasternGirl]

Oh...can't forget copperheads...I would like to find one of those. I have seen plenty of water moccasins around here and have no desire to come across any of those mean little so and so's...

[frostyftw]

Oh, I see.

Nice signature, It's funny.

copperheads are beautiful! easterngirl, those are probably water snakes you are finding. water moccasins, aka the cottonmouth, aren't found that far north. please correct me if i'm wrong!

Nor did I until I found one. And just one that color is all I've ever found. (green) come to think of it, it was more like baby **** green, lol.

Actually, Delaware is at the northernmost tip of their range. But yeah, found in the same kind of habitat and it's easy to confuse the two at a distance.
