General Observations
Missouri has not been thoroughly explored herpetologically.
Missouri collecting has been concentrated around hotspots:
Ozarks
Urban centers
Favorite field trip locations
Uncommon species or common species at the edge of their range tend to be over-represented in state collections.

Research Period
Research Period (1966 – 1986)
Many universities involved in active field research around the state but there is little interest in species distributions
Universities are building collections at this time but not necessarily for distribution records

Common Garter Snake
Webster Co MO, 2005
Similar to Texas Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis annectans)
![Page 31: · References Atlas of Missouri Amphibians and Reptiles (Daniel and Edmond 2006) Amphibians and Reptiles in Kansas (Collins 1993) Census Bureau (](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041020/5ecf53bb872eca1ce71edeec/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Recommendations
Missouri researchers should spend more time collecting the western prairie region of the state!
Cherokee Co KS should be searched for more Ozark species.
Fox snakes (Elaphe vulpina) are a likely find in NE KS.

Summary
Missouri has not been thoroughly explored herpetologically.
All Ozarks are not created equally!
Definite distribution anomalies exist at the Missouri / Kansas border.
Many (not all) can be explained by collecting history in both states.
There are still surprises left for Kansas and Missouri herpetologists!
