Well...so far we've found:
Black Rat Snakes
Ringneck Snakes
Rough Green Tree Snakes
(and miscellaneous lizards)
My step-father saw a "black snake" that took off really fast, so I'm thinking it could be a Racer. Who knows? And I still haven't searched the back area of the woods that leads down to the rocky cliff and stream below. And that old broken-down shed in the woods has a tin roof with small patches of grass growing on top -- the perfect place for a reptile to sun itself in the morning.
I admit that I've only been looking (herping) once, and that was a few months ago in the middle of the afternoon. I found nothing. Everything we've seen has been accidentally found. Oh, well.
I'll keep on searching. One day I'll be a real legitimate FIELD HERPER!
Good Things,
