    Video - Timber Rattlesnake survey in Virginia

    Definately worth watching. The guy in this video has been in Virginia Wildlife magazine. He's made a really nice docu-video on our Timber Rattlesnakes. http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/video/timber-rattlesnake-survey/

    Some pics from this weekend

    There must have been a snapping turtle nest near my front yard somewhere. I found five of these little guys in my yard - one going into my garage. Two more had already been killed on the road in front of my house. I gathered them up in a bucket and walked them down to the creek where they...

    An odd snake death

    Found these on another forum. Photos show a dead snake and an odd, but natural way for it to die. Photos aren't gruesome. http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=D0&Date=20070407&Category=SPORTS0803&ArtNo=407006&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=1

    Ever watch "Man versus Wild"

    If you don't know what it is, the premise of the show is that the host is dropped off in some remote place and he shows you what to do to survive until you reach civilization. I'm watching right now. The man who hosts the show is "lost" in Australia. He's making his way through the...

    A new fishing lure

    Being a bass fisherman, I'm always ready to try the latest sure-fire lure that will fill my livewell with tournament winning largemouths. Seems someone has gotten the idea that a plastic snake will do the trick. http://www.naturalmotionlures.com/ (scroll down some - check out the videos)...

    A mean Water Snake and a cute Ribbon

    I went fishing today. I was able to grab these two guys out of the water. I must have seen 15-20 Northern Water Snakes today swimming in the creek. This is the only one I even attempted to catch. He bit the hell out of me. Mean little snake. I don't know what it is about the teeth in a...

    My New "Shining Shield"

    Last weekend my buddy and I hit a local junk pile. Among the snakes we caught was this Eastern King Snake. I posted a picture of the way she looked the night I caught her in this thread: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51201 Well, in the short week I've had her, she's eaten...

    Another great day herping!

    I took a stroll around a lake today and saw buches of turtles. I checked out an area nearby that is supposed to be home to some Canebrake Rattlers. Didn't see any of those, but did run into a very ornery Northern Black Racer that actually rushed at me, climbed my field stick, struck my camera...

    Speaking of King Snakes...

    No pictures (not mine, at least), just a quick anecdote... My new herping buddy told me that he's been flipping Eastern King Snakes at a local trash heap nearby our homes. He usually finds a few each trip. He also finds quite a few Brown Snakes, too. Last summer he caught a moderate sized...

    Finicky Eastern King Snake

    My mid '06 Eastern King Snake (sold to me as male, but is really female) is the finickiest eater I've ever had. Most Kings are garbage disposals, but mine isn't, and it's driving me nuts, and making me think about the future. It seems my King will not eat anything white, or with lots of hair...

    How To Herp - By Skychimp

    I went to let my little garter snake go today. Afterwards, I decided to go poke around for a couple of hours to see what I could find. When herping, it's important to do it right, like I did today. SkyChimp's Rules for Successful Herping __________________________________ 1) Don't bring a...

    A handsome little Garter Snake

    I caught this guy today. I know he's a guy cuz I saw, well, you know. I found him on a pile of rocks near my home. When I picked him up he flailed about with his mouth open. Never bit me, though. But he musked like no other snake I've ever caught. I brought him home to show my kids, and...

    Some new herp pics

    I spent the morning and early afternoon on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Not herping, but did run into a couple of things by accident. BTW, I'd appreciate everyone's opinion on what species of water snake that is. Its markings may be obscured by mud, or it may not have any. It was in a ditch...
