Down here they are the same. Don’t know about up there where you are.

Probably a good thing in your case. Decreases the chances of getting bit on your vagina.

Tigerrrdad I often road cruise honey island swamp too. Only place I know where if the majority of snakes I see aren’t cottonmouths it’s at least pretty close. Usually come across a couple of copperheads a year. If there were canebrakes back there I should have seen one by now but never have. Just gobs of cottonmouths and the occasional copperhead for venomous species. I used to see speckled kings pretty often too but I don’t think I have seen a single one for a couple of years.

Yup

Honey Island has a nice variety if you walk a few different types of trails and also hit the woods where there are no trails. Last year we hit it hard for a couple days and found 4 cottons, 1 copperhead, 2 ringnecks, 2 ribbons, 2 kings, 1 green snake, 1 broad- banded water snake, 1 DeKay’s, and 1 black racer. I think that’s the most species I’ve found in any one spot in just a couple days. I’ve also had days there where I’ve found nothing but cottonmouths. Also found a gator nest full of eggs one day there last year. I hadn’t been there til last year even though I used to live 15 minutes away, but it quickly became one of my favorite spots. I’ve found more snakes in a day at other spots, but not that much variety. When I hit Honey Island though, I tend to intentionally try to hit the non-cottonmouthy terrain - I get my fill of cottonmouths around my house.

While prepping for our annual boil, I found a decent sized skin near the koi pond. Later, when the sun came out for a bit, I saw a beautiful Ribbon snake-freshly shed. We get a few each Spring-I think they winter in the mound where the water fall is.

Ride all the gravel roads you can find in SW MS April, May, September, or October. If you can't find a canebrake/timber rattler in an hour or two you blind.

Any specific locations you know of? How do I find gravel roads in SW MS?
I got a wake up call hunting with a few hardcore herpetologists. I’ve always just looked for snakes in the woods wherever I lived and had just a couple spots outside of that. After a couple trips with some hardcore amateur herpetologists, these guys know every WMA and state or national park with productive trails. I didn’t even know these places existed. Hell, I didn’t even know about the Pearl River WMA trails and I loved 15 minutes away for 17 years. In the past year I’ve picked up 3-4 spots that are very productive, but I need some new ground to look for stuff like hognoses, corn snakes, rattlers, etc. that I don’t find at my usual spots. I plan on hitting De Soto in MS soon.

Natchez State park and Homochitto National Forest.
And gravel or rural roads are everywhere in Adams/Franklin/Jefferson counties, just turn on one. I've seen two dead on our road in Adams Co. since last week. Thats 2 in about 4 miles of driving.

I would think there is a population of eastern diamondbacks in De Soto.
