A guy I used to know was rather successful finding corn snakes and coastal plains milk snakes near Lewes Beach. Never did find any more specific locality data.

I once found a rather nice eastern king near Georgetown. Was doing some shooting and when walking out to check the target this little guy was just crawling along in the grass.

My brother in law once came to me and proudly proclaimed that he had just killed a copperhead. I asked him how he knew it was a copperhead. After thinking for a minute, he said "Well, it was just like the last copperhead I killed."

And I never could get an accurate description from him of this mythical beast he claimed was very common in Delaware called a "field viper". My description of a hognose snake didn't seem to fit what he thought he knew about.

You guys should head up into the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. That is really a fascinating place to kick around in.
