So I went to a spot this afternoon and spent about an hour rummaging around a bit. It turned out to be a very colorful trip with a lot of diversity in herps, but the fact that I had found so many copperheads the last month or so really bummed me out when I was copper-skunked this trip.
Here's the first snake of the trip- the largest Carphophis vermis, western wormy squirmy snake, I've ever seen!:
Next came this skinny but very green Coluber constrictor, racer under a rock (in situ):
I left it be and the next find was this pretty little G. Plains narrowmouth toad, which are always nice to see:
After the toad came this very pretty and cool (literally it was in the shade and very cold) baby C. constrictor:
In situ:
Next come the milks. I found two of them today and they were both monsters!
Here's the first, possibly the most unattractive L. t. syspila I've ever seen as it was hard into opaqueness:
in situ:
Here's the second milk, which was even bigger than the first. But unlike the first one it was a beauty.
in situ:
anyway, it was a short yet very fun outing. oh,......................................................................................................................................................................

about that copperhead- I lied. I found a gorgeous little bugger:
just after me flipping him:
after playing with him for a little while:
