Man, worm snakes are all over the place. I can find them EVERY day. My daughter found one today in the garden just by turning over a rock. They are everywhere.

Check out this little catch and release from my yard.

Come on down. It'll take all of 5 minutes to find one. Just watch out for that "sharp" tail on them. LOL.
I was surpised they were still around today. It's getting a bit chilly.

O man im not commin home from IL until the 10th of oct. other wise i would take you up on that. DId you contact any of those people i from the two groups in CT?? Especially if it is an active den-sit i think those guys should know about it, one is a Curator at Yale Peabody and loves to compare historic data sites to recent sites, such as an active den or a highly productive vernal pool.

O yea i understand most views of anything are influenced by how your raised (nature vs nurture) but it is interesting how most of the people raised in one generation or another share certain stigmas towards various subjects
