Topic: Lifer!!!!

Some friends from back home, Brad, and I hit some roads in Franklin County that I have been cruising quite a bit. Between cruising last night with Eric, and tonight, I've had two great nights of herping, and will be back out on another road tomorrow night...

Tonights totals include:

9 or 10 copperheads
1 speckled king
1 plainbelly
a few DOR black rats

and this long awaited lifer... finally. This is just a quick voucher, but I'll have other shots once this herping spree gets a break. haha

Re: Lifer!!!!

We'll get together in the next couple days because I NEED pics of that guy before it gets posted. I'm pretty sure that's our find of the year, and it's a shame everyone here has to wait. Hahahaha

Re: Lifer!!!!

I need a day where I'm not herping first. I've now herped 6 days in a row... so between that and work, I haven't had time to get to it! Hahaha

Re: Lifer!!!!

OK, Here is a pic of the lifer that Mike and I cruised last week.
The pics aren't as good as I wanted, but hey, i'm not as good a photographer as some of you and the dang snake wouldn't hold still for me for anything!  cool

Oh, geez, I thought it was going to be a Coral.  Still a nice find.

Except for our juvenile from last year (that *was* surprisingly cooperative), my experience has been much the same.  I have heard the same from others as well.  They just move and burrow constantly.

LOL, I said in one of the previous messages that a coral would be the only thing that would top it.
