Went herping today

[reptile65]

My dad and I decided to go field herping for garters today. We used to go pretty frequently, but haven't gone in a few years until today. There's a really nice pond area close to our house with lots of tall grass and there are a ton of garters there. We were successful in catching 4 garters today, altough we saw many more that were too fast for us to catch. Here are some pictures that I snapped with my cell phone:

Aww, how cute! I've never been able to catch garters, always been too slow. Sounds like you had a lot of fun though!

The cloaca looks freshly used..

Yep. The pictures are actually of several different snakes, but yes they ALL musked me! Haha.
