Most of the parks and stuff they wont allow you to take things out. So pretty much you have to own the land to keep things. Unless you are talking about just taking pictures of herps?

If you are looking for "hot" spots Drive over to Hyde county. Find a Pine thicket with a service road and drive down it. Chances are you will find several red phase carolina pygmy rattlers, possible timbers, copper heads. Just do not have any collecting tools ie buckets, bags, etc cause they look for people trying to take the pygmys. Dont want to cause your self any unneed troubles.

Around Greenville there are quite a few areas to go herping. There are lots of little creeks in the country side around Greenville these always make for good walks. When were you coming into town. If I am free I may be able to take you to some areas around me that I have always had luck at.

@crazyglue Hit me up man. We can go sometime. I have a few areas around me that pay off most of the time. Hell I caught a 6' rat snake in my back yard.
