Hope you like them. If there are any other Missouri herpers give your shout outs post some pics from previous trips.

Box turtles are always fun to find and never get old.. My kids go nuts when I bring a turtle home every now and then..

Spring is almost here..:rockon:

Hey, I don't see the herp in that first pic! :lol:

Great field shots, the variety in your area is astounding. Looks like you know where to find them too, are those last two salamanders a long tail and a western slimy? What species of snake is that? Truly envious.:cheers:

Nice finds, even the mushroom. Some of us are heading to Southern IL to Snake Road in April.

Cool shots....can't wait till spring gets here :)

Your right on the money on the salamanders. The snake is a western worm snake.

I have yet to make it to snake road but I have been to a place in Southern IL where the section your walking is only about a 1/2 mile long and there is a huge rock wall on one side as your walking along the wall this is no joke we seen over 50 cottonmouths (actually a little scary they were even in low hanging limbs that you brushed up against), 3 timber rattlesnakes, 1 copperhead, and more green vine and black ratsnakes then I could have even tried to count. It might have been near snake road.

Morels are a couple months away for me yet. Nice selection of critters.

Nice! Those salamanders are awesome looking. Good pics

Once again awesome herp finds and looks like nice variety out that way

Great pics! Now I'm really dying to get back out and do some more field herping! Unfortunately we just got hit with ANOTHER 4-5 inches of freakin snow today....... :machinegun::machinegun::machinegun::machinegun::machinegun:

Sweet field herpin pics. What is the cute lil critter in the last pic?? Very neat! Love the turtles.
