2015 has been a terrific year on the field herping front. I've had some memorable finds and excursions with some great people and I cannot wait to see what 2016 has in store. Here are some of my keepers since last time.
Green Salamander Aneides aeneus
Rough Green Snake Opheodrys aestivus
Slender Glass Lizard Ophisaurus attenuatus
Eastern Coral Snake Micrurus fulvius
Marbled Salamander Ambystoma opacum
Four-toed Salamander Hemidactylium scutatum
Gulf Coast Mud Salamander Pseudotriton m. flavissimus
Eastern Spadefoot Scaphiopus holbrookii
Not a southeastern species, but a long weekend in Portland, Oregon turned up many Dunn's Salamanders Plethodon dunni.
Thanks for looking, y'all. I have big plans for 2016 and I can't wait to catalog my finds here. - Robb Herrington

Re: Final Quarter of '15
As always, you got really nice shots of some really nice herps. My favorites are the green (mostly out of envy that I've never captured a particularly attractive pose when shooting one) and the marbled: those fall leaves create great contrast with the really crisp black and white of the salamander. Here's to more fun and productive herping ahead! And to beer when it's not productive.

Good stuff and photos, Robb. Super envious of the flavissimus. One I've had absolutely no luck with.

Robb, great finds and great photos! As others have said, I really enjoyed that Aneides picture. The coral is superb as well.
I hope to get out in the field with you one day!
