Bishop|Bishop]] (1915), in the [[Okefenokee Swamp]] ''A. conanti'' occurs in thickets along the edges of the cypress ponds of the islands, around the wooded edges of stretches of water, in areas where the woods of the islands meet pine woods, and throughout the swamp in general.

In the [[Everglades]], Allen and Swindell (1948) mentioned that it can be found in [[Sabal palmetto|palmetto]] clumps as much as a quarter mile from water. Otherwise these snakes tend to aggregate around drying water holes, most likely because of the increasing concentration of available prey. [[:fr:William Edward Duellman|Duellman]] and [[:fr:Albert Schwartz (zoologiste)|Schwartz]] (1958) described the species as inhabiting aquatic environments, cypress flats and wet prairies, but not pine forests, scrub or hammocks. The latter is contradicted by a report from northern Florida where large numbers were seen in wet pine-palmetto areas, except during very dry periods.
