you're in mountain country East TN, right? A lot of that area is middle of nowhere...think like a snake. Where would you go? Anybody up on what snakes prefer mountainous habitats?

lol... well, when i am looking for snakes in GA it seems there are none. the last two times i went into the woods, i saw none. but the day after both times, i found one near the house (in the city). of course they were just brown snakes, but still, snakes. maybe i am not looking in the right spots.

Queen Snakes are not listed as endangered or threatened in TN.

Here's pic of a queen snake.

Nice find.

At least your over on the good side of TN.. around here all we have is Kudzu and bugs.. lots of blood sucking bugs. In the 5 years I have lived in this area all I have ever seen in a few copper heads, and sad to say, they were nailed to a wall
