Bleed for content... got to be an easier way. Have seen 2 racers at my place over a few years. Just a standard plot in a residential neighborhood in east TN. Still lots of wooded lands all around so plenty of good habitat for the snakes. Not like your place but I see some every year. I had a brown make its home in my canoe. It popped its head out while on the highway. It held on for a while then I think lost its grip on a bump and got caught in the draft wind.
