How to go herping?

I saw two around the Don river just in the past week, both chunky females. Maybe it has to do with the fairly warm weather we are still seeing.

I'm just south of Toronto, they are very common if you know where to look, I have seen 486 this year alone. However it is late now and you will have trouble finding any farther than a few metres from their hibernation sites which are relatively hard to find.

Of that 486 snakes how many would you say were close to 40" long? I have been looking for a couple years now and 34" is the largest plains garter that I have personally seen.

I have the shed of a female Plains, to see it you'd think it came from a Bull Snake. She was the one that produced the 100+ clutch.

One day I hope to find a enormous one!
