    My 1st Field Herping experience

    Since I live in a pretty rural area in Oregon I took it upon myself to go out hiking in Baskett Slough National Wildlife Reserve and see if I could run into some reptiles. My first two experiences were nice and always happened just as I was getting ready to pack up and leave.

    I'm pretty sure these are Red Spotted Garter snakes but if I am wrong please correct me. These are literally the first snakes I've encountered in the wild so I'm pretty darn happy, I use to live in the Suburbs of Southern California and never seen snakes but plenty of lizards though.
    *these garters are different, first one was spotted in a forested area. While the larger one was spotted basking on the side of the road as I drove home.

    Really love these little guys, would love to have one as their colors are just so appealing. <3

    I find them all around my house! Not exactly sure how far from Eugene you are though. I also have a 30 gallon tank full of pacific tree frogs we find here too.

    Awesome, I hope to have better luck next time I go out. Pretty awesome seeing snakes that are not behind glass for once.
    I live in Dallas which is pretty close to Salem.

    Not too far from here. I love going out to see what I can find! There are so many varieties of garter snakes here its crazy. Ive also found a few salamanders hanging out with them under things, sorta weird.
