Hello. I live in South East Missouri, Carter county. And i'v been trying to find a red milk snake in the wild i'v read that they live here but i'v never seen one. I checked at the only Cedar Glade that I know of around my house i'v been looking for like a year lol. Anyone have any suggestions on where to look?

Thanks,

At my school when we go on nature walks we check by rock piles, tires, etc. Anythging that absorbs heat. Here is another place: MILK SNAKE It says look in praries, dunes, and hillsides near water.

I dont know how much trash is in the area, but the best thing I've found to look under is pieces of sheet metal that've laid undisturbed for a good while. Like pieces off of the side or roof of a mobile home. Without that, a piece of plywood laying near water for a long time is a good opportunity. Logs or large rocks are good to look under too.

One important thing you should keep in mind is leave it like you find it. If you turn over a rock or a log, replace it like you found it when you're done. Even if you didn't find anything under it, doesn't mean something isn't just out hunting at the time. It's probably important habitat for lots of things. Good look on your milksnake hunt. Post some good pics for us when you succeed.
