Help! What am I doing wrong?
A friend and I went herping yesterday evening, and found....a leopard frog. After hours of searching, that is ALL we found. It was by a beaver dam across a small stream.
We searched the area, but found no traces of reptiles.
We moved on to search in some drier, low-lying areas under a stand of aspen trees. We checked fallen trees and branches and bark....nothing. No shed skins, no signs of reptile inhabitation. Just ants.
Driving around through Medicine Bow National Forest in Vedauwoo recreation area, we saw no DOR reptiles....but plenty of rodents and small birds. Saw a few deer, too. Not a trace of herp anywhere.
There is plenty of cover--rodent burrows, complex rock formations, sagebrush. Plenty of food. Where are the snakes???
