Topic: spring break herpin

Well after not seeing any western diamondbacks on Sunday, I decided to not let that discourage me and I have been herping in northern AR since Monday.  I was hoping that a few more things would be out, but I have managed to get a few.

First thing on Monday: Collared Lizard (I was able to actually get some photos with my camera)
Speckled Kingsnake
ground skinks
fence lizards
red-belly snake
spring peepers
pickerel frog
bullfrog
slimy salamander
Ozark zigzag salamander
dark-sided salamander
cave salamander
many-ribbed salamander
Newt

Pretty picture!(My wife says) smile  My spring break find: Hip wader boots! big_smile  $10 at new Salvation Army Thrift Store.  Next time we go creek herpin', I can do some of the wading!

Dave,

My next targets are living mudsnakes (maybe you can wear your hip waders while we road cruise in case you have to jump out into a swamp big_smile ) and glass lizards.  Be prepared the next couple weeks, month smile

Re: spring break herpin

thanks,  I knew they were there since last year, but could never manage to connect with them when I had my camera.  I was hoping to meet you last weekend for the atrox outing.    If your interested PM me, I can connect you with a spot for crawfish frogs about an hour from Fort smith.
