Saturday I went herping down at Red River Gorge in eastern Kentucky. It was rainy until early afternoon, and the temps were in the mid to upper 60's, so I wasnt really expecting to find a whole lot. But heres some of what I did find.
 The pics were taken with my camcorders camera mode, so they arent the best of quality.
 The first find of the day.

Then I found these two under the same rock.

 I got lucky when I found this snake. I also found a DOR earlier in the morning.

 After I pinned him for the pic, I noticed the rock in his mouth, which I immediately removed with a small stick. He kept trying to poke me with that fang, but he didnt even get close.

This was an extremely red copperhead. Ya cant really tell in the pic, but I have never seen one this red. Maybe its because he is from Red River Gorge. Haha! Ok, not funny...

 After taking pics and some video of him for nearly half an hour, this guy was mad and ready to go back to the woods. Which I let him do.

 As far as RRG, you guys should go if you ever get a chance. The scenery is awesome and so is the herping. There's miles and miles of trails if ya like hiking, and the fishing is good too from what I hear.
