I've been out here for about a day now... The area I'm staying at is in the mountains. I have scoured the tops of the highest peaks (Hey, 1,500 more feet up than this is pretty high!) and checked the local lake: NO SNAKES.
I am so ANGRY.
My Uncle says he saw a racer a week or two ago; there are boards, rocks, and etc on his and the adjacent property. I checked as much as I could before I was chased off. (Not by humans... DAMN WASPS. D< )
Tomorrow we head to the mountain streams, and I'm going another 2,000 feet up to a pine forest. Note, most of this is just feet from his house. :P
Don, I don't know how you find snakes here. It's all too hostile! XD
((In case you're wondering, we're at... Maybe 3,000-4,000 feet up in the mountains already!))

Re: Hello from (adjective) Utah! :)
Sounds like fun to me! You know, I have been all over my home state looking for herps, with some very sucessful trips and some where I pretty much got skunked- but one thing I have learned is that you need to be able to enjoy the hunt either way. Make sure you take the time to enjoy those mountains(and hopefully a lack of people, particularly the stupid ones), whether or not you see any snakes.
Of coarse it will be alot cooler if you do find some snakes!
