Just search for "snake road illinois" and you can read tons of other articles and descriptions. Specifically, it is actually part of the Larue-Pine Hills Ecological Area in southern Illinois.Buckeyeherperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04511804617379162369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629588904648960895.post-20500885112256093392011-10-23T17:39:16.570-04:002011-10-23T17:39:16.570-04:00So, how do you find this location?So, how do you find this location?Rob_Blah_bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245863926127386091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629588904648960895.post-51311205652088288682010-12-15T05:03:27.567-05:002010-12-15T05:03:27.567-05:00D was bitten by the snake we did not see.

If you stay on the road you are still likely to see animals and they are much easier to avoid or keep a healthy and safe distance.Buckeyeherperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04511804617379162369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629588904648960895.post-15698613498307184142010-12-11T12:51:36.935-05:002010-12-11T12:51:36.935-05:00I live real close and didn't know about this p...I live real close and didn't know about this place. I'll definitely look it up in the spring.<br /><br />I'm an entomologist, so while I've always enjoyed herp encounters I haven't really looked for them until very recently (after getting interested in photography). I've seen cottonmouths in southeast Missouri, but I'd love to go here and get some photographs. Of the five venomous snake species we have here in Missouri, this and the massasagua are the two that I still haven't photographed yet.<br /><br />How did D manage to get bitten by one of these? Does one have to be careful photographing them (i.e., more so than any other venomous snakes)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
