I know what you mean! We got 17 inches of snow last week, then it was in the 70's. No snakes are out yet up here, soon though :)

I need a lot more before I finish the venomous species in Texas, but I do have the Southern Copperhead, it's the most common species at my study site :) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/149...

This is the most common snake I find, atleast 6 or more everytime I go to one of my spots during the right time of year that is.
