So the air is getting cooler, and herping season is starting to wind down here in the Northeast. I hope everyone was able to squeeze in some herping in September, I know I sure did. I headed to New Jersey and scored this awesome Coastal (Eastern, LTExT, whatever you wanna call it) Milksnake! Show off your favorite September find in this thread here!

I flipped this yearling Eastern Hognose Snake on a bliss Sunday afternoon in Southern New Jersey. My second Hognose found in NJ this year!

Nice finds, guys!! September was really good to me. Copperhead giving birth, lifer Marbled Salamander, lifer Black Kingsnake but I would say my favorite was this Eastern Hellbender.

I'm not sure if I can post anything that can top anything already posted in this thread.

This hatchling Common Snapper has to be one of the cutest things I saw in September!

I love those little panda turtles. Overall, we were lacking in the baby turtle department, but the ones we did see were adorable.mike h wrote:This hatchling Common Snapper has to be one of the cutest things I saw in September!

I didn't spend enough time around water this year, I think I only saw 3 or 4 snappers this year! Super depressing for me because they are one of my favorite turtles!

I will go with this Mudsnake I cruised near Outer Banks, NC. Funny, the people down there don't find them often, but Bob and I in the course of a few weeks each found one. Not something I expected to find, but Pennsylvania represented well down there!

Sad to hear about the sick snappers Any idea what is going on there? I found a spot near me which seemed to be a snapper graveyard, about 4 individuals dead in a section of stagnant C & O canal.
