Topic: Small town Saturday night
Kimberly (AKA littlepapoose) and I went out to eat at the local truck stop (yee-haw!) and then deceided to do some road cruising/spot lighting. Here is what we saw/heard:
Clark co.:
TMTC Gray treefrogs
TMTC Bird-voiced treefrogs
TMTC Fowler's toads
TMTC Springs peppers
TMTC Cajun chorus frogs
3 Green treefrogs
2 Leopard frogs
1 Cottonmouth
Non-herps:
TMTC White-tailed-deer
1 Armadillo
1 Bowfin
1 Spotted gar
Nevada co.:
TMTC Gray treefrogs
1 Unidentified watersnake
1 Rough green snake
All of the bird-voiced treefrogs were calling from buttonbush in deep (3+ feet of water). After several attemps at walking onto a log to catch a bird-voiced, I had enough of log rolling and decieded to give up. I kept the green snake, and I am happy to report that Kim and Kasidy (my 4 year old) both held it. Rough greens make such good pets. It was a fun night, and I am happy to report that miss Kim is quite a herper. I may have to keep her and the snake around for a while.
