Occurrence Notes
Neither Meade nor Taylor found this snake inside the park during their surveys, however Meade listed it as possibly occurring there based on captures from the adjacent Catoosa Wildlife Management Area. Taylor et al. cited 4 recent captures from the CWMA, and described the snake's habitat as ranging from dry, rocky hills and open woods to dry prairies and stream valleys.; Data Source: Meade, L. 2005.
