Actually I have not seen but two snakes (alive in nature) the entire time I've been going to school up here. I've seen hundreds of turtles, frogs, geckos, and anoles but have yet to see that many snakes. I also don't really go looking for them, so maybe thats why I've yet to see them, if I'm out in nature im searching for viv decor or fishing

.
Whats the range of the blue sided? We have tons of different types habitats up here, I wouldn't even know where to begin looking. I should be going to talk to some people in the bio department tommorow about my new frogs as well as culturing drosophelia flies for frog food, I can ask a few people in the department for some leads if you want, especially the ecologist, he has the dynamics of pretty much every population in Florida conceptualized.
