Earth Day Herping in Oregon

Flew across the country to Oregon to visit my mom and as soon as I got to her house I couldn't help myself... I had to start flipping over rocks and logs. She has a total of 43 acres which offers just about every type of ecosystem Oregon has on it. I only got to spend about an hour looking around, but I was able to find some interesting little animals.

I'll be on the lookout for more during the next week while I'm here. I really hope to find a couple scorpions or a rubber boa, but any find is always exciting.

If anyone has any tips while I'm here, please share. I will update as I find more!

Best tips I can give is to find junk... especially old boards, old sections of tin roof, old tarps... stuff like that will attract snakes and scorpions in droves if there is any lying around, especially in the spring.
