Thanks Eric, must have confused it with species of concern.

Hi Mike,
Nice one. But I want to mention that bullsnakes in WI are listed as special concern and are protected, but they are not currently threatened according to sources I have.
And I am not aware of any provisions in the laws against merely handling them. Can you point it out somewhere Mike?
