    In my years of working with herps in South Florida, on occasion I have found snakes in ant beds just as the Milk Snake you found was.After doing some research on it, I learned that Formic Acid is a by product of ant waste, and because it Contains elements that make it a type of insecticide, it’s a good way for snakes to rid themselves of mites and ticks. That might be why it was there. Just a thought. Enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.😎👍👍👍

    Scarlets have a red nose with a slight shovel tip scarlet kings are usually dark nosed with a more rounded nose. When you see the head it's quick and easy.

    Look at where he is observe the biome. Find areas with cover that snakes can use like logs rocks or trash. Look for food sources of your target species lizards or worms or smaller snakes. Pick your days don't go out if it's raining and cool choose a day that will keep your target species near the surface ready to hunt not hiding from the cold and wet deeper in a root hole of a toppled tree. Hope this helped

    Scarlet snakes are fossorial and small with a shovel rosteral scale (nose)eating reptile eggs primarily. Scarlet kings are tri colored like the Scarlet snake but are snake eaters usually with a dark nose more round than shovel shaped nose that is usually red. Hope this helped

    I would like to find a young black ratsnake to raise for a pet but I keep seeing huge individuals that could already be getting old. I previously had a large female for 28 years who was given to me as a baby. I know that they are captive bred too but not many near where I live. I'd like to find a young one about 2 or 3 feet long but like I said I mostly see large individuals. In the rare case that I keep native snakes I won't collect adults unless they are disabled in some way. I once had a completely blind garter snake that I found emaciated. It was young but some predator pretty much destroyed his eyes. I do take excellent care of my pets. Even a pet snake deserves excellent care and a great life. I had the blind garter for almost 13 years. Some wild snakes are legal to keep for pets where I live but if they don't eat within 10 days in my care I take them back where I got them. I'm not willing to risk them dying if they don't start eating.
