Topic: Tom and I headed out again (Lonoke County 04/01/07)
Well Courtney and Ryan were supposed to come down this morning to go herping but I havent heard a peep from her since Friday so I dont know what happened there. I had decided if she didnt show that I would just stay home and pack but Tommy called and asked if I wanted to head out anyways so off we went! lol Decided to hit the surrounding area of the farms to look for Speckled adults, no luck though.
Farm #1
about a dozen Cottonmouths
about a dozen Watersnakes (1 baby Banded Water, first for the year)
couple of cute little Redear Slider hatchlings sunning on a log in a ditch
of course various turtles and frogs
Farm #2 (turned out to be a Ribbon day)
at least 20+ Ribbon Snakes (these are the nice aqua blue ones)
maybe a dozen Watersnakes (couple of big, nice 4ft+ Diamondback Waters on the banks)(also 1 baby Banded Water here as well)
1 Queen Snake (Tom and I are fairly certain it was a Queen and they arent known to range in that county, I have seen it before in the same pond we saw this one. Need to get pics of her to verify)
Various turtles and frogs
Banded watersnake
Tom snapping pics of the little bugger
Found several waters in rodent traps around the 2nd farm, also several dead snakes in some of them as well

Tom took a few more pics than I did so I will wait and see what he has to offer as well.
