finding snakes
i now live in a place where i can't find anything. not even a copperhead!
i used to find multiple racers and a couple of rattlers a year, and maybe some yellow rats. and one year me and my friend found 2 coral snakes that we got to a place that takes snakes. the only one i can find now is my Ball Python!

Re: finding snakes
where are you located??
When you filled out your profile, you never filled out your location, aside from USA and that covers a lot of real estate.
I'm assuming by the species that you listed that it's somewhere a little to the south.

Re: finding snakes
Depending on what part of the state, the forests out around spartanburg piedmont have been known as good herping spots.
Get away from population centers as much as possible.
Marshy and rocky areas are usually good spots.

Re: finding snakes
Keep in mind, there's no more anti-venom for coral snakes after the end of the year. I'm sure I don't have to tell you to be careful (or you'd already be dead), but be careful!

It's not a local garter snake. End of conversation. Nobody enforcing is smart enough to tell the difference and they're not going to bring in a herpetologist to ID for one snake. It's legal to sell non-local population green and garter snakes in a pet shop in Ontario. I can't tell the difference and I've been interested in snakes for 25 years  And Ehh stop spreading the Ehh stereotype you know what I'm talking aboot?

Re: finding snakes
I spoke with my local DEC officer, and he told me those laws were more to prevent mass gathering for the pet trade, and no one was going to kick in any doors over a person who keeps a few pet garter snakes.
I would be willing to bet that applies almost anywhere.

Re: finding snakes
Some do enforce them, saw one kid get fined for catching a northern water snake and putting it in his car.

That is completely different, the enforcement officer saw a clear cut case of someone picking up a wild snake, with intent of keeping it. Getting caught red handed so to speak. Infernalis and others are exactly right, no ones going to kick down your door for owning a couple garters that they have no way of proving are wild caught. Just don't get caught, catching them.

Re: finding snakes
I'd be willing to bet money that if you find a garter snake under a rock and keep it as a pet you're not going to get in trouble.
They're easy to keep and actually sort of interesting. You can make fish (don't use feeders they're garbage. Buy proper guppies or mollies or something like that) a reasonably large part of the diet and the snake will actually get into a container of water and strike the fish under water. It's interesting to watch. They'll take worms pinkies, small toads (they eat a lot of bufo americanus in the wild I dont know if they're in Quebec they're in Ontario). They also drink a lot of water for their size. Other than that hiding hole, hot area cool area... mist it... rough rock for shedding. That's about it.

Yup. Different to see you break a window and steal a TV than have a TV in your house set up and go "did you buy that TV legally?"
