Notes
Along the edge of some decent quality oak forest. These are extremely abundant in this area right now. There are three snakes in the container - two adults and one YOY. I actually saw another on the way out so I saw four in about ten minutes of searching.
Interestingly, at this locale there seems to be equal numbers of all three of the color morphs, whereas the silver phase seems to dominate in other locales I know.
