So my computer has been insane and not let me on the tegu in quite a while, so I have went herping several times and not had the chance to brag, all in all it was pretty awesome. We have found many many specimens and watched them for a little while, but we ALWAYS honor the rule, Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but foot prints.

anyway here they are (I organized them for you convience)

Pretty sweet pics! Love those fence lizards. I used to catch them in Jacksonville as a kid. I just couldn't get enough of those blue undersides!

lol thanks for all the support guys. Yeah every single one of these animals were found in the range of mid-Georgia to south Tennessee. We used a hook and tongs to catch the timber rattler. (it was one UNHAPPY SNAKE!!!) and I know what you mean Laurarfl the fence lizards are one of my favorite (its between fence lizards, soft-shell turtles, ring necked snakes, and leopard frogs).

If anyones ever in Georgia or anywhere in the south east really, look me up, the way we see it, the more people you have the more ground that gets covered :D

My family lives in S GA, I'll be there for the 4th of July. They're in Glennville and then I have to drive my daughter to Statesboro for a 2wk ballet intensive study with Atlanta Ballet. Don't think I'll get any herping time though.

aye, its always good to make time to just walk through the woods though. I don't like most the people that I meet in here, but our woods and wildlife are definitely on par with with a lot of other places. Anyway good luck to your daughter. ^-^
