Late April to
about the end of May or depending on weather to around the first several weeks of June. May is the prime month though. You are about in the heart of where to look. The flint hills has a absolutely diverse species of reptiles. You need a hunting license of the state. Minors don't. You simply lifts rocks ( flat rocks are better ) to hunt for species . The better places are again the flint hills and the reservoir up there. I use to base Alma as my meeting point of looking south, north, east and west. You need to get permission to cross the fence lines from the ranchers out there. I have encountered very little venomous in the flint hills that consist of massasauga and copperheads. Copperheads are found normally in the creeky areas. May I suggest the Field guide titled " amphibians and reptiles in Kansas " by Joseph T. Collins. Hope this has or can help.
