- Abstract
Nesting behavior in the Northern Pine Snake (Pituophis m. melanoleucus) is poorly documented outside of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Two natural nests of P. m. melanoleucus are described from the North Carolina Sandhills. One was modified from a pre-existing subterranean refugium, and was also used by at least one adult male; one adult female; and one post-emergent, postecdytic hatchling Pine Snake during the same season.
