C. horridus has suffered habitat loss over much of its range same for many animal species. However there are many areas that horridus is still quite common where development etc. hasn't sprung up. Often we forget that they still reproduce when we say the word decline or perhaps some of us who preach the words declining, threatend, endangerd etc. just haven't perfected ways to observe herps effectively in certain areas when they may be more abundant that one may be aware of. If they all stopped reproducing for some reason then we may notice fewer and fewer. But I dont believe that all populations are necassarily declining just because someone kills or collects a few which is insignificant to what preditors take for food purposes except it may be one less food item for something else. Same as for sistrurus m. miliarius in NC they are not a rare snake by anymeans. Which this isnt an invitation for folks to go to NC to hunt them its just most methods that snake hunters use to collect snakes will never produce many pigs when infact they are some of the most common venomous snakes in the right area's. You just have to know the lifestyle of what your wanting to find and train your eyes to depict them from the forest floor and know where in the forest to look. But taking photo's is better than taking the snakes there are enough CB snake out there now to pick from or wait around for a rescue instead of taking one straight from its habitat that could alter population trends. Just rambling on hope everyone is doing well
