They also feel really nice in the hand - very supple and strong. <br /><br />I don't know about the habitat association. This particular spot is solid woods, but near a marshy field. I guess everywhere I've seen them alive or dead within Philly has been rocky and has been right near both woods and more open terrain, but all of that area of Philadelphia is a mix of woods and more open terrain. I have generally found them elsewhere in more open areas, but again that's where I've found debris to search underneath. I tend not to find nice pieces of metal or boards in the middle of the forest.Bernard Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13873568923999649831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801645.post-17541889506558898612011-10-23T07:11:11.212-07:002011-10-23T07:11:11.212-07:00Beautiful snakes-worth the effort, I think.

I associate them with more open and scrubby habitats, am I off?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285610649119277081noreply@blogger.com
