In the last 2 years, I have documented exactly 2 snakes, Considering I live in the middle of nowhere, that's a sad number.

I have to take my son to his friends, When I return I will direct you to my herp photography sessions. (wild specimens only)

I seldom touch the wild snakes, However I do give in and intervene when they are ill or in mortal danger. (from MAN, I do not interfere with predators, such is the circle of life... so I won't be shooting any snake eating creatures for doing what nature intended them to do.)

I have rehabilitated a few sick snakes that I found, and it's very rewarding when they heal.

Thanks...I look forward to seeing your photos. Insecticides have been blamed for the apparent decline in these and similar species, but no real studies/research as far as I know; I will keep an eye out for journal articles, etc. Best, Frank
