Hello All,:

I live in Pittsburgh PA, and I plan on doing a lot of herping this summer so I am posting this thread to see if there are any herpers in my area that would like to go herping this summer with me. I will travel quite a ways for a good field herping adventure.
My "Wish List" for this summer is:
1. Timber Rattlesnake
2. Milk Snake
3. Rough or Smooth Green Snake
4. Wood Turtle
5. Spotted Turtle
6. Gray Tree Frog
7. Spade Foot Toad

Of course any herps are fine with me!

Hope to hear from any interested parties.

Joe

I live in the east, near Philadelphia, but I'd love to go field herping. Perhaps there is somewhere in the middle that we could get a bunch of people to get together and go?

Wayne,

Thanks for the welcome! I love the "welcome mat" very nice. So you live in New York, I have been to Essex County in upstate New York in the Ticonderoga area. I really wanted to see a Timber Rattlesnake but I didn't. I did see a lot of water sankes and a few garder snakes.
What kind of herps do you see in your area? So far this year I have seen one garter snake, 20-30 toads I have a pond in the back yard where they come to breed, and a painted turtle. Not bad considering saw all of them in the city.
Hope to hear from you sometime.
