Eastern Hognose Snakes in Ontario

[Queen's Biology]

Hi All,

I am a biologist at Queen's University and am participating in a study on landscape genetics of Eastern Hognose snakes. As such, I require a large number of DNA samples (taken from a small amount of blood) from Eastern Hognose snakes. The study already has a large number of samples but is looking for more this summer. Any information on recent sitings or current locations of Eastern Hognose snakes would be most appreciated and will help build information on the status of this threatened species. Has anyone seen or heard any information about these snakes in Ontario?

Thanks so much,
Thomas Moore
