Surprised all of us-we were actually looking for insects. I'm guessing the warm weekend brought the little guy out of the hibernaculum a bit early-and that he'll be heading right back in, since it's supposed to be below freezing by Wednesday night...

I actually saw my first corn snake of the year about a week ago when we were clearing out some brush and wood from a friends property. All of the sudden he screamed and took off running. I walked over to see what it was. He said it was a 5 foot long rattlesnake and I reached down and picked it up, it was about a 4 foot long Corn Snake. It was cold so he didn't move around much. I didn't have a camera with me so I didn't get any pictures, but this is the earliest in the year I have ever caught a snake that I can remember.

It wasn't a big tree, and they definitely climb . This one was on the sluggish side. I hope he made it back to a good spot before it got chillier again.

Yep that is all we have here also. I live in Maryland so every so often I may come across a corn but usually just black snakes lol. We vacationed in Fl last year and seen some bigger lizards it was so cool!

My first encounter of the year so far. I apologize for the poor quality, but I was driving
around an area I usually take to try and spot some snakes, and I didn't have my camera
with me, so I snapped a quick one with my cell phone. When I first saw it from the window
I thought it was a Water Moccasin. It was in an area where I've seen several Cottonmouths
in the past two / three years. I stopped and snapped the picture and then checked it to
see if was alive and it was. I realized when I got close enough to him, it was a Banded
Water Snake and not a Moccasin. I got the hook out of the truck to get him out of the road
and placed him on the grassy bank of this marshy area where this strip of road is located,
and the sucker crawled back to the center of the road. I got him on the hook again and
placed him back a little further on the bank, and low and behold, this guy crawled back
into the road again. I was determined I was going to keep this one from getting run over
today, so the third time, I just launched him into the middle of the marsh. He was probably
back in the road sunning shortly after I drove off, but all you can do is give 'em a chance.
