bc pituophis

[munchy]

ok i really need help from some bc people here.
im in the fraser valley but i do alot of fishing around the interior and ive yet to see any pits (gopher/bullsnake) at any of the lakes or places ive been to. im usually too busy fly fishing. this year im really looking forward to herping though..

ive been around kamloops, okanagan, kane valley, clinton, oliver, nicola, penticton and places like that (usually at or near lakes) but have so far been unsuccessful in finding anything.

its my understanding that there are places where they are abundant in bc and id like to hear from people who might live around these places or have been herping around there. ive always wanted to see these snakes in the wild. where are the best locations/lakes to look?

im also interested in observing rattlesnakes and ANY other reptiles around. id like to go on a little trip in may so if you have any suggestions within about 6 hours of the fraser valley id much appreciate it. hit me with a PM or just reply.

thanx
