When Connie and I lived in Maryland, we would vacation down in Englewood in May and September. Mostly cruising the roads around that Murdock area in the mornings and evenings. What we discovered was that as soon as it got warm enough for the black racers to become active in the morning and spotted on the roads, it was time to head back to the motel and hit the beach. All of the more sensible snakes were retiring to cooler areas for the day.

As for road cruising at night, we never did have much luck with that, and is extremely boring when you aren't seeing anything on the roads.

I guess between developers paving over Florida from one end to the other, and fire ants being a severe problem for egg-laying reptiles, yeah, it's pretty tough on Florida's herps.
