Where are you, Georgia? LOL I'd rather be part of a herp society there than up here as far as field trips and herp outings go! We only have like one kind of skink that lives up here and its only in one county right by the mississippi river. other than that, no lizards. snakes are around, like milks, rats, bulls, hogs, garters, northern water snakes, we have timber rattlers and massasauga rattlers in the bluffs (we don't have mountains here) but they are super rare and i guess we have ornate box turtles but i think those are gone.

lol, thats true, we do have a wide variety of herps in the surrounding area. But as far as herp societies i haven't heard of any around here (maybe i need to google that, lol) My guess is I would have to go to ATL though.

You could always start one, our local society is only a year old.

True, i know NOBODY around here into herps though.

Make a facebook page and advertise it on atlantas herp society page or reach out to surrounding areas..there's gotta be some people. at least you'd have a way to connect with others in your area and collectively spread knowledge and opportunity to others that are into what you are into.

this sounds a lot like where i live. here in iowa there are no mountains either but we've got the bluffs that run along pretty much the entire missouri river. ive never really tried looking for herps in there but i imagine there would only be some snakes.

im not sure of any herp societies around me, there may be some in des moines or omaha, idk if they have group meetings but the nabraska herp society is the one that puts on the herp show twice a year. ill have to look into these and see if i could go to one. thnx for the idea

..there was a group of knob tail geckos, and this little green gecko that almost looked like a day gecko but i wanna say was in the Rhacodactylus family. It was the coolest little lizard ever, I just can't remember latin names at all.

I woke up this morning and remembered Eurodactylus! LOL its in the Eurodactylus family, not the rhacodactylus...I don't know how i remembered that! anyways, thought i'd update that in case some gecko expert was laughing at their comp thinking "haha, what an idiot!"
