Anyone else having serious withdraws yet like I am? I cannot wait until late March/early April.

I am, although this past week the sun was warm in the afternoon here in south Texas and a number of species were seen at work and in my back yard. Took the edge off, so to speak.

We don't have any reptiles around here, not even lizards tbh.. Have to drive quite a bit to have a small chance at finding anything at all (and then it's still hard).. I'm so envious..

Yeah we've been going through a really cool fall down here in AZ, so all the reptiles packed up for hibernation a while ago. Haven't really tried looking around too much just because it's been so cool but I'm sure there's stuff out there.

That's horrible, I remember I felt like that when I lived in the Pacific NW.

I make up for it by just buying more snakes

I got the winter blues aswell. I'm in denial that the seasons over but I need to accept it

I'm in North Carolina so the salamanders are still going decently. Went out last weekend, we've had some abnormally warm weather recently, found tons of sallys, a heap of tin to lay out, and a huge woodland vernal. Going out again Saturday.

I can't complain here in Louisiana. It's still hitting 70 degrees almost every day. I had been busy from November to about two weeks ago and couldn't go herping, so I was definitely have that itch. I went today and it was about 70 degrees and rainy. Still found about 30 snakes (5 species), plenty of anoles and ground skinks, and a couple gators as well. I'll post pictures soon.
