Rich, Thanks for providing us with another spot to share our interests.
I've been doing quite a bit of herping in the last couple weeks. I'm not finding much (it's still a little cool out for FL) but I'm finding some new spots with great potential when it warms up a bit.
I spent today walking around the beautiful Florida scrub habitat in the Lake Wales Ridge Forest. I'm planning several trips to different areas of FL in the next couple months and I'm planning to go out to Arizona for the first time in May.
Here's a couple shots of some FL wildlife from last year...

I hope to see this forum become really active!
