English: A large and healthy snake observed sitting in leaves about four feet in front of its densite in the shade on a mostly sunny day. The rocky mountainside exposed to the sun is home to numerous densites, and the person who found this snake commented this was a smaller den compared to what we had not searched yet. At the larger site we would eventually locate a juvenile. This animal was torpid upon capture but quickly rattled and struck after the first few minutes. Upon release where it was found, the snake promptly retreated to its den. Yell County, Arkansas
