Re: Weirdest field finds !

Was trying to get an eyelash viper out of a tree and found a coral snake about 6 inches from my foot.

A few weeks ago I found 4 northern black racers in a pile :P it isn't mating time either. I guess they were just hanging out

Got a few pics of the sea snakes, and the eyelash but not the coral. I'll try and find them later.

The correct spelling is "dying" Not singling you out, it seems about half our members spell that wrong.

There is no such word as dieing.


On to the question, I find Garter snakes and milk snakes in the same hide spot and milks will eat a garter without hesitation. Yes I have pics....

Re: Weirdest field finds !

Ohh, and friday I was walking with a friend and saw a 15-20 pound snapping turtle sunning itself on a log... the odd thing was it walked allong the log till it got to the end and it was almost 3 feet off the water.

Why is that? I thought that most, if not all, snakes like warm foods..

IT was a turtle, and it was odd to see it that high up.

Re: Weirdest field finds !

I saw a garter snake sunning itself up on a tree once, but had no camera at the time.

Sameeeee. Thanks for correcting our poor grammar ways Wayne.

As for weird herp finds, I've never really seen anything to out of the ordinary, as i'm not in the area for that sort of herping... What's weird this year is I haven't seen ANYTHING. o.o Normally I save a garter almost every time I cut the grass at work, none yet. ;/ Went looking for salamanders and things along the trails on some good days we had, same places I've always looked, and nothing. ;/
