    There are a few papers wrote on the subject. Never read them, but probably worth checking out.

    I have only seen False Widows in PA. Seen plenty in SC to last a life time though.

    I have to vote against the permit also.

    Through studies what seems to be optimal conditions for snake sightings. I only get to go on weekends and after work, so im limited to observations. I know that in the mornings, usually weekends, is when i see the majority of snakes visible from air, other than that they are tucked away. What seems to be optimal air temps. I know gravid females demand more exposure to sun but the non gravid, juveniles and males is mainly what im interested in.

    Rattler,
    Correct. If you need help there is a few video tutorials http://www.paherp.com/db/videos.php
    and a handbook http://www.paherp.com/db/doc/handbook.pdf that will give you some details.

    If you have questions feel free to use the contact page and send me an email and I will help you out.

    First of all, is that a black widow for sure in that picture.
    Second of all, I have not heard of this study
    Third of all, I'm sure there are adverse affects on snakes with all of the logging. If it scares me, I can imagine the snakes!

    Actually, I found out that through that study they learned that logging did not have the negative impact on the snakes they though it would. It actually created more habitat for them.
