I want Herps to come to me

How can I attract more reptiles/amphibians to my house, especially snakes.

set up habitat: a food source and places to hide and breed.

Hmmm are you looking under logs, branches and rocks too, or in the grass/bush? They're not going to hang out near the sheds if those other locations are available nearby

Try placing some basking spots made from junk around the house (old pot lids, carpeting, tin, etc.)

Good luck!

i would also suggest that when you do finally catch herps nearby, release them in the sheds or around the house, but becareful, some animals shouldnt i.e. slamanders.

I have a pond and have only had it about a weel and have alredy noticed the change is herp life I have seen many more herps then usual escaccialy skinks. I'm planning on setting up some tin and some sort of place to put mice where they will stay there any tips there? Chris try putting out some tin next to water, leave it alone for a couple of weks then go turn it over I assure you there will be some herps.
