Rough Earthsnake (Haldea striatula)

High of 71 degrees Fahrenheit
Low of 29 degrees Fahrenheit
70 degrees Fahrenheit at capture
After visiting the first location, I went to the county Southwest from there and walked ledges for Coachwhips. While none were turned up, I did see innumerable Rough Earthsnakes and Prairie Ringneck Snakes under rocks on a South-facing dolomite glade. It was sunny, and the wind picked up which likely suppressed surface basking from most larger snakes.
