2013 ChrisS field herping thread

[ChrisS]

I'm really looking forward to this season of field herping, so I thought I'd create a thread for photos of my finds this year.
Not too many yet but here is a start


The garter was not actually found by me, but a friend. But it's the first snake I know of found in my area so still pretty exciting.

That's cool! My daughter and I went for a walk yesterday and all we saw was a rabbit.

[ChrisS]

First snake of the year!

[ChrisS]

Snake number 2

[Annarose15]

Neat, what is that guy?

I wish I could find millipedes like that!

Cool finds!

[ChrisS]

Snake 1 is a brown snake and snake 2 is a worm snake.
Those millipedes are all over my parents backyard but I've never found them anywhere else in the area.

Aren't brown snakes venomous

[ChrisS]

No, the North American species referred to as the brown snake is non venomous. It is Storeria dekayi

If you ever want to trade or sell some of those millipedes, let me know!
