Well as Dragon and the sticky says I won't give out den locations on the web and that wouldn't do you any good in August anyway since the snakes are dispersed this time of year.All I can say is watch for them.Most pine snakes I"ve found I found because they run their mouths.The often will hiss...
Boyd speaks wisdom.You may run into critters you have no interest in:-)
The Barrens hide their wildlife well insects excepting.The woods are generally so thick that spotting wildlife is a chance occasion.Like I said dawn and dusk are best,night is good too except that us humans don't see very...
Explore Friendship bogs at dawn and dusk.Take a topo or aerial map and know how to use it.It's mazy out there but it's gorgeous,also Tulpehocken Creek from hawkins Bridge upstream is the Barrens answer to the garden of Eden.
August is very hot in the Barrens.This is an understatement.You'll find most critters in or near water.The cedar and maple swamps mostly.Most mammals like anywhere else are nocturnal and especially so in the heat of summer..Reptiles can be found anywhere but many also are nocturnal and hang out...

Boas climb as well Mark but the larger they get the more terrestrial they become.I have never know of Anacondas to climb,they very seldom leave the water.
Had a gull die in my hands once.It had a broken wing,I picked it up and was petting it wondering how I could help it when my brother said "Whats wrong with it" I looked down and it was plainly dead.I"ve been told I look mean but that was ridiculous.
Boas do take to water though not to the extant an Anaconda does.To see one swimming would not be odd at all.All snakes can swim.The pic is of a Boa Constrictor though I understand that is not Hoppy.
I've never seen a wolf but heard a pack in the distance in UP Michigan at night in a forest service campsite.actually the only animals there I"ve seen in the wild are the Elk and the Gopher tortoise or so it seems to be.Used to catch em when i lived in Florida.Of course we have Bald Eagles out...
Never seen a beautiful city myself but I hear Prague is supposedly beautiful.Every city I've ever been in is mostly slum with a comparitivly small Downtown
