The Eastern range of the night snake extends to Texas. Still, not much is known as far as population densities and exact range due to the highly cryptic nature of the night snake. In Idaho, night snakes are found in the southern portion of the state, and northward along the Snake River to Lewiston, Idaho. [50]

That’s a state record for nest size and well above the 50-to-100-egg average for the species. Average for pythons is 50 to 100 eggs, experts say. This nest was 111 eggs.
After suffering a wreck in the falls of the Snake River Canyon, they took an overland route through the Snake River Plain, through what is now the Boise Valley or Treasure Valley, then crossed the Blue Mountains to bypass Hells Canyon and reach the lower Snake River.
