Ginnie Springs herps

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the advice on the locality. As I have said I have been in central Florida a few times, but always only for a limited amount of time and more than once I visited springs that are basically just like public swimming pools with no wildlife around - so it's good to know where to go.

The name changed a few years ago. Nowadays scientists discriminate between muD and muSK turtles, the first ones being Kinosternon sp. and the latter ones are named Sternotherus (like the common stinkpot S. odoratus, the loggerhead S. minor and the razorbacks S. carinatus and not to forget S. depressus)


I don't know how high your photographic standards are, but for underwater pictures my Olympus stylus 1030 SW is more than enough. It's a 30ft waterproof digital camera that doesn't need a water proof housing and doesn't cost a fortune. Link: http://reviews.photographyreview.com/blog/olympus-stylus-1030-sw-preview/

okay, thank you for the update and the Camera suggestion. I think I am going to stick with the water proof housing for my Cannon s90 though because it would be about the same price as the Olympus that you suggested and it is going to allow me to take better quality pics and it goes down to 90 feet or so.

+1 may a shipping quote on those guys? LOL

haha, I am not collecting them but I may go back for some since there is clearly no short supply. If I do get some though, it wont be more than a handful because of FL laws (which I am okay with, I don't want to collect too many anyways).
