Gopher snakes are one of the most commonly observed snakes in New Mexico. The goal of this project is to document observations and distributions of Gopher snakes in New Mexico for the year 2014. Hopefully this will be the start of a Gopher snake monitoring program in New Mexico. By amassing observations it may be possible to identify seasonal activity patterns, parts of the species reproductive phenology through presence of neonates, and habitats where the species is most commonly encountered. less ↑
