Field Herping 2016
I haven't done any serious trips yet this year, but I've gone out to a couple of spots near my home. My daughter and I have made a few cool finds. Nothing rare, but always fun anyway.
Sceloporus undulatus
Some sort of wolf spider
Thamnophis sirtalis #1
Thamnophis sirtalis #2
Thamnophis sirtalis #3
Deer mice (snake food)
Nerodia sipedon pleuralis (juvenile)
Lampropeltis getula nigra #1

Re: Field Herping 2016
We took a family walk on some Land Trust property today. We weren't herping, and all I had was my phone for a camera. But, we came across a couple of cantankerous Eastern Rat Snakes (Pantherophis alleghaniensis).

Re: Field Herping 2016
Thanks, Albert, and Snoopy. I'm hoping to so some more serious herping soon and hopefully find some species that are a little more rare.

Re: Field Herping 2016
Or, I guess those rat snakes are P. spiloides. I'm still fuzzy on what's what with the rat snake designations.

Re: Field Herping 2016
My daughter and I spend a large part of last Saturday herping. We didn't have much luck, other than a few lizards and one Nerodia erythrogaster that slipped off a bank and into the water before I could get a photo.
But, here's a couple of friendly skinks. I assume they're common five-line skinks.

Re: Field Herping 2016
I had an hour of free time this morning. Unfortunately, it was cloudy with occasional sprinkles. I didn't find any snakes, but the turtles were out and about.
Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina)
Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina serpentina)

Re: Field Herping 2016
I haven't had a lot of luck lately. But, here's a few recent finds. Turtles are out everywhere, laying eggs, I guess.
Southern painted turtle
Yellow bellied water snake
Midland rat snake
Green frog

Re: Field Herping 2016
I put the wrong ID on that frog. It's actually a bullfrog.
