Eastern Snakes Forum
[ Reply | Eastern Snakes Forum ]
To ask a question about a snake, don't reply to this post, go to the forum home page and start a new post. Your question will get a lot more exposure. Please give us an idea of where you live, as reptiles can often be identified only by locality!
Please do not place messages about killing a snake, and asking what kind it is you have killed! That is like going onto a message board about dogs and telling about torturing one to death, and asking what kind of breed it was. You will likely get "flamed", and likely by the forum owner, depending on his mood that day.
A note about head shape in snakes: Head shape is a totally useless character for identifying a snake, and has nothing to do with whether the serpent is or is not venomous (poisonous). Many harmless snakes, especially when young, have rather large heads. Please describe color, pattern, markings, and habitat where the snake was found. The shape of the head will not help us in any way.
Thank you.
where do snakes go in winter?

I live in far northeastern Tennessee (Greeneville) upon Bald Mountain which is 5 minutes from the AT trail and NC border. I have seen ringnecks and copperheads around my cabin. All of which I leave alone and let them be on their way. But I wondered if snakes hibernate during winter? I havent seen any of late. Thanks in advance for your response. By the way, great site and have enjoyed reading past posts.
