Artificial Cover
Pieces of plywood or corrugated metal set out in semi-sunny areas at the edge of the woods and a field will often attract snakes.

Tiny Treasure
| The first board had two milks under it, a yearling and an adult female. Smaller Eastern Milks often have "chestnut" blotches on a grey background, which change colors as the snake ages.
|
Mad Milk
| The larger milk was this freshly shed female. She was quite feisty and did a lot of tail vibrating and striking. Click here to see another photo of this snake

Cleveland-area Constrictor
| He's a photo of the younger one after I got it out from under the board. It had kind of a whacky head/neck pattern.
|
Ol' Blue Eyes
| The most commonly seen snakes were Eastern Garters. We saw 10-12 of them. This one has bluish eyes because it is in a shed cycle.
