Brown water snakes (Nerodia sipedon sipedon)
Brown water snake - found caught in landscape netting at one of our local parks. No injuries and was released, but not before I got picks of his cute face and belly
Re: What is your favorite reptile to see when out field herping??
I'm lucky if I find anything at all. I've seen garter snakes (who hasn't?!) but the most amazing thing was when I found 4 developing boreal chorus frog tadpoles swimming around. I couldn't resist and I took them home with me. Unfortunately one passed due to internal injuries caused by me accidentally, but the other 3 are doing amazing. One started showing signs of hind leg paralysis, but a bit of potassium and he was back to his usual self, even eating better than the other two! I hope to find a boreal toad or a spade foot toad. In Alberta, it's mostly frogs and toads though I'd also like to come across a hognose
