Description

This record gleaned from field journals I kept between 1968 and 2002. The first 6500+ records I posted on iNat had photo documentation, but now I am posting these records which do not have photos just to provide the data point for the species and location as best as I can for the historical record. I will also add a number to represent the approximate number of individuals of this species I recorded on the given day if more than one.

In my old journals this location is only recorded as "near Westlake, Bleckley County, Georgia". In the late 60s there was an area of abandoned buildings in a rural setting where we regularly hunted snakes. There were several nearby creeks, brushy fields, lots of scattered tin roofing on the ground, etc. I'm sure the area is populated with humanity now. The location is shown as close as I can get to the original location.
