i really dont have to go out in the field to catch anything. herps enter my house and yard all the time. though just the small species. i recently caught some Mabouya skinks, Hemidactylus frenatus (as freeloading fat squatters in my insect feeder bins), Kaloula pulchra frogs, small frogs that i couldnt ID, Bufo toads, Polypedates leucomystax tree frogs, Limnonectes and Occidozyga frogs. i found a shed snake skin and im not sure if that was from a misplaced shed skin of one of my own snakes or a wild one. i usually let these animals free after observing them because i have so many animals to take care of already and i dont want to add more load to my maintenance chores. i also hear tokays at night coming from the other side of my area. i know if i just explore the area (i live at the edge of a secondary forest), id find even more herps. the joys of living in the suburbs.

Oh and just a few blocks from the house I saw probably a 200lb leatherback today. I dont see them too often but I see many green and loggerhead turtles and a few kemp ridleys.

A few blocks from your house,on the beach I take it? Is it egg laying season yet?

Field herping around here has been dead lately. I have yet to get skunked but I hardly call a dozen ribbon snakes a success either. I did see a pine snake and a southern hognose on one trip and a bunch of pygmy rattlers on another but for the most part it is all the common stuff (garters, corns, rats, ribbons, and cottons) and nothing really worthwhile.

I wish I could even find that.. Im lucky to find a garter snake

I'm in asia and I'm desperate to see kaloula pulchra's. You even have limnonectes! Dang. Overall, I struggle to find kaloula pulchra's in nearby swampy fields. PM me your location will you?

Yessir, Navarre beach. I was on the pier all day fishing yesterday and I see turtles every day. Occasionally I will see them in the sound too. Im not sure when each exact species lay eggs but I know that from spring till fall the turtles patrols are out every morning.

A couple months back I saw a loggerhead that crossed the road and got hit by a car, eggs spilled out everywhere.

Watersnakes? Dang lucky I rarely ever see any I used to see some small skinny snakes that sat there with their head pokin out are they watersnakes? I wanna get bit by one...not really but I do want to catch one

Probably Ribbon Snake

in the begining of summer i saw a lot of painted turtles and snappers in a small creek by my house, then when i got my kayak i started exploring a local river and saw even more painteds and another big snapper. i haven't had a chance to take the kayak out lately so all i have been finding are gray tree frogs and toads around my house. mainly while they were crossing th road on rainy nights
