Normal wild corn

I've seen an eastern massagua in IL.

In OK, i've seen a umm...blue tongued or is it blue lined? skink, a bunch of the "mountain boomers" (OK state lizard), 2 or three really big toads, a copperhead, and a pygmy rattlesnake.

All you have to go is go canoing or something in the right area and you'll see red eared sliders and painted turtles. And as a kid, we did find the occasional one in the yard, passing through.


You'd think that since I live in an city of 150k ppl now I wouldn't see much wildlife other than squirrels and birds, but I've seen a badger, a skunk and rabbits running around.

Edit: Still haven't seen a wild corn snake though :P

I remeber when I lived in louisiana me and my friends saw a bably Cotton Mouth!

let's see--i've seen copperheads, water mocassins, various skinks, green, brown and bahamian anoles, black rat snakes, garter snakes, snapping turtles and other various turtles, a gator basking right next to the highway, and all kinds of bugs and creepy crawlies. i grew up in the mountains of virginia, so we were always finding critters and my dad is a forester, so he was always bringing critters home to show us. the critter keepers went with my sister and i wherever we went. once we took our green anoles and rhinocerous beetle on vacation with us, and left another keeper at my grandmother's house for her to keep an eye on--we thought it was full of turtle eggs that we collected out of our garden--turned out to be black rat snake eggs, which grandma was not to pleased about. :D
