I have yet to see one this year. I know of a spot they are at but no go yet. You should join this site and post your findings in the database! http://www.naherp.com/
If you need help let me know. Use the wrench when putting in the longitude etc. It will show a google earth type map. If you click hybrid you should be able to pinpoint where you found the animal rather easily.

Well from my username im a dude but every time i go to the wetlands i just see squirrels but everyone else sees rattle snakes and falcons at the same wetlands. I have seen a gopher snake, baby rattler for a minute and a decapitated king snake and a friends of mine catches fence and alligator lizards at her other friends house. It's like they herps here hate me

 

[ferretinmyshoes]

Nice Eastern box turtle! Lucky to see those around!

LOL, It honestly takes some time to figure out where you will likely see them, time of day, time of year, temps, rain and having those places to herp.

We are lucky to see what we do. This area has quite a few easterns.
