Just clearing out my phones photo gallery. I finally purchased a DSLR and went with the Canon T3i. I cannot wait to get out and take it herping! In the meantime and in no order, here are some examples of what I have seen so far this year.
Hyla cinerea
Crotalus horridus
Ambystoma opacum
Plestiodon anthracinus
Lithobates capito
Plestiodon egregius
Tantilla coronata
Pseudacris ocularis
Ambystoma tigrinum
Desmognathus conanti
Pantherophis guttatus
Lampropeltis getula
Thamnophis sirtalis
Farancia abacura
Pseudacris brachyphona
Sistrurus m. barbouri
Nerodia erythrogaster
Siren lacertina
Lampropeltis elapsoides
Plestiodon inexpectatus
Masticophis flagellum
Death feigning
Larval Gyrinophilus porphyriticus with regurgitated Eurycea cirrigera.
Pseudacris nigrita
Agkistrodon contortrix
Virginia striatula
Ambystoma talpoideum
Agkistrodon piscivorus
Pseudacris ornata
Hyla femoralis on a young planted cypress tree.
Pantherophis alleghaniensis
Hemidactylium scutatum
Crotalus adamanteus
For my birthday, my girlfriend and I took a trip to Wakulla, Florida. The herps were scarce but we came away with a couple lifers.
Nerodia taxispilota
Pseudemys c. suwanniensis
Terrapene c. major
Regina rigida (lifer)
Nerodia clarkii (lifer) This and the glossy crayfish snake were taken back to the hotel for photos because the mosquitoes were too unbearable to photograph them in the marsh. Both were released the following morning.
Nerodia clarkii upon release.
As you can see, I have had an excellent year so far. I must say that I would not have seen many of these animals if it were not for the advice and, in some cases, the direct guidance of my friends and fellow herpers. I must thank Chris Montross, Noah Fields, David Fields, Joseph Jenkins, and Josh Young for lending your help and, more importatly, your trust. Until next time, Happy Herping!

I like that first king a lot, is it an Eastern/speckled intergrade?
Cool stuff, all of it!

Was that the Wakulla River in the shot with the basking suwanniensis? If so, that is the murkiest I've ever seen it and I would guess that your B'Day was soon after the heavy rains the panhandle got a while back.

Re: Midyear Photo Dump 2014
Super great finds. My favorite is the Plestiodon anthracinus, that is awesome.

Looks like a great year so far, Robb,
That 2nd moccasin shot (after the Mole sal) with "hourglass" markings is a great shot to show lay folks how related they are to Copperheads.

Thanks, guys!
I found that corn in Conecuh NF during one of the indigo outings.soulsurvivor wrote:Nice finds! Where'd you find that ugly a$$ corn snake at?
Indeed, it was the Wakulla River. The water was very dark, like paddling in tea. Visibility was only about 18''. The guide at the kayak outfitters said that ever since that tropical storm sat on the area a couple years ago, it doesn't take very much rain to murk up the water now.Carl D.

It was from Barbour County, AL (Eufaula) so from a geographical point, I would think it SHOULD be ''pure'' eastern. The one below it was found only half an hour south, on the GA side of the Chattahoochee.Coluber Constrictor wrote:I like that first king a lot, is it an Eastern/speckled intergrade?
