Southern Illinois

It has been a busy October, and as usual I am WAY behind on sorting photos!  On Thanksgiving weekend I took a trip to Illinois, organized by a good friend (thanks Steve!).  This was my third year doing this trip, and it was a blast as always.  We found lots of great herps, and I got a few decent shots too!  Here's the first few:

Western Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus leucostoma)

Rough Green Snake (Opheodrys aestivus)

Mississippi Green Water Snake (Nerodia cyclopion)















That's all for now, hopefully more to come soon!

  2. Twas lovely indeed, you should come next year (just a quick, 35 hour drive for you)! Actually cottonmouths are quite common on the site, it's copperheads that are the real challenge (photos to come). :)
