    Also, it may just be me, but are you doing the "rock" symbol when you're holding that snake??
    Thanks. Yeah, I noticed the way my hand was positioned after I posted it. Wasn't really trying to do the "rock" symbol as much as I was trying not to pinch him between my fingers but hold him in a position to take the pic.

    I took the kids around the yard and we are 1 for 3. We found 2 unidentifed baby water snakes together but i managed not to catch either. But in the end we found the green tree snake.

    Yea, I don't blame you. Set him free to catch another day.
    We were on a job today in a subdivision in Lilburn, GA and some of the guys with me spotted a king snake that they said was around 5' long. I rushed to catch it to get some quick pictures, but it had escaped before I could get there. Oh well, maybe I will see it again and most definitely post picture on this thread!
    Gotta love herping in GA!!

    That would have been a good find. Everyone i know seems to find snakes all the time but most are scared of them. I try to go herping some and do not have any luck at all. Lol i live on the st marys river in Camden Co and have some land. I need to get out in the woods and hunt but the woods are pretty thick here and the flying insects are bad. Some try tote you off.

    I'm the same way. It's always the ones that are scared of the snakes that see them the most. I guess with the fear of them they tend to look harder than we do!

    Nice find on the green snake. I've only seen one since I moved to Georgia but they are very camouflaged so not much of a surprise there.

    Re: Field Herping in Georgia

    My dachshund needed to go out and he found himself a herptalogical speciman. Unfortunately once she shut herself in, she was pretty reluctant to come out again. I sat there for 15 minutes before I was able to get the picture with her nose in it. I went back up and watched from the house and it still took her another 10 minutes to feel comfortable enough to move.

    All in all though it has been a fairly good couple of weeks around here from a reptile stand point. Two box turtles (one baby), an Eastern Kingsnake, a Brown Snake, and a decent size Snapping turtle. I live in a regular old subdivision so that's not too shabby.

    You wouldn't happen to live in the Sav area would you? The houses in your other pics look like the Georgetown area that i used to live in.
