Re: Green Tree Frog
Thanks for the info. Does it fit with the time of year better as well? That is to say, are there other Hyla out and about in N. Central Florida in March?

Corn Snakes & a Milksnake - But Not From the Field
Hopefully I'm not in too much violation for putting these up since they're not from 'the field'. They're all videos, and they're free to distribute to anybody for educational or non-profit purposes. If anybody makes any $$ off of these, I want a cut :D They're videos of my corn snakes shedding. Each...

Cuban Tree Frog
This little girl moved into a pot on our balcony last June. Well, that is when I found her trying to harvest some oregano for dinner one evening. She stuck around for a while. Maybe she'll be back this year. I believe her to be Osteopilus septentrionalis . http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/capt...

Say Hello to My Little Friend (photos taken Alachua County, 3-11-13) Is this just Hyla cinerea ? http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/captainjack0000/Wildlife/IMG_1409-1_zps89d6bb2d.jpg http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/captainjack0000/Wildlife/IMG_1411-1_zpsa92ffdbd.jpg http://i79.photobucke...

A Little More Luck from the Gainesville Area
I went road cruisin in Levy county and found a cute little DOR eastern diamond back. I am not posting the photo here cuz it is a little gross, but the pattern is clearly Crotalus adamanteus . I did find this though after digging through some rocks. I think it is a Hentz striped, but I'm not sure. ht...

Re: Gainesville Locations (Time and Place)
I got back from NC today and had no luck. I'll admit though I didn't drive the Blue Ridge parkway. Actually about 5% of my time was spent looking for herps at certain parks in the area. Family stuff got in the way. The in-laws didn't seem to into what I wanted to do. It did look like perfect salaman...

Re: Gainesville Locations (Time and Place)
I just found the mother of all herp books for Florida. It contains relatively detailed maps of every reptile and amphibian collected or photographed from 1980 to the present for museums and universities as well as unvouched for specimens pre 1980. I can just flip to the page of the species I'm looki...

Re: Gainesville Locations (Time and Place)
One of the things I was thinking about was that I moved here last summer in the middle a drought that really wasn't lifted until TS Debby came around in June of this year. That means of the 16 months here, about 11 of them were drought or winter. Maybe things will pick up this spring. Thank you for ...

Re: Gainesville Locations (Time and Place)
I am still at the office grading papers, so I cannot post pictures, but I do have access to my youtube videos. Here is a link to a video from around the area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3WnsY0Ixt4 And though this isn't "field" herping, it is another video I took while a bit farther south. http:...

Re: Gainesville Locations (Time and Place)
From what I have read, it sounds like there is more time needed than I have to invest. I'm sorry if I came across as a brash newbie. I don't feel like a new person to herping. While at Purdue working on my BS in wildlife management, I hung out with the herpers and birders. I even attended an event a...

Re: Gainesville Locations (Time and Place)
I am a student, and live in an apartment complex. I don't feel comfortable throwing scrap boards off the sides of roads or in parks to improve my chances of seeing a snake. If I had my own property, I would probably landscape that puppy into a herp heaven! I don't venture onto private property, so i...
