Has anyone ever herped the Island of St. Lucia (not to be confused with the African St. Lucia)? Have you had any luck? What snakes can be readily found?

I don't know how you find so many baby boxies. I've only found one in the past several years. Always neat to see, though. You've had a great year in 2015! Great post!

2015 didn't waste any time in producing snakes as I took a day trip to South Georgia on New Year's Day (none of the bowl games interested me). We were able to walk up a few snakes with temps in the 60's. Corn Snake https://scontent-mia.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/t31.0-8/11041902_10153114072036147_542...

Dave, if you are planning to go to Congaree you might as well come down to the Augusta area where I live. It's only about an hour and a half south of Congaree and we have the most dense population of Cottons in GA. Among other snakes as well. You can find them with temps in the 50's.
