I have been a long time from the blog, but have been thinking I should return. Thus, a couple of photos from a recent herping trip to southern Illinois. Legendary Ontario herper Steve Marks led a crew of us to the great Snake Road to look for a variety of southern herps. Great success! Here are some of the favourites:
Western Ribbon Snake
Southern Leopard Frog
Green Tree Frog
Spider
This last one is not an excellent shot per se, but shows an interesting behaviour that I've never seen in Nerodia before, possibly mimicking a Cottonmouth.
Yellowbelly Water Snake
Anyway, that's all for now, I will try to post more regularly.
Cheers!
Kyle
