Our local Herpetological Society had a field trip this past weekend and one of the members were able to find this little guy. I felt he was worthy of a post as it's only the second wild Heterodon I have ever seen in over ten years. They have a decent size range within Canada but they can be very tough to find.

Thank you!
Jon, I have found all the herps in Manitoba except for the Great Plains Toad which is in extreme SW Manitoba. I still need to make it out to BC and find some new herps!

Any nasicus is a cool nasicus, no matter where it is found.
Great find.
