Well.. I'm in Virginia right now. I just got back from my herping. I went to route 629 near Manassas. I don't know the exact name of the town I was in, but it was exit 152 from 95S. I took the first left, and then a right at the 4 way intersection (straight has a dead end sign). Anyway...
1 yearling Black Rat
1 adult Eastern Worm Snake
1 Fowler's Toad
1 squashed turtle that I didn't bother to id
1 DOR Black Racer- adult female that was gravid.. her eggs were squished on the road around her-looked like a cat got to it after being run over... people suck!
This was all found in about 2 hours! Every other trip I've taken I've bombed out.. but this time I found stuff! The eastern worm snake was a big surprise to me.. I never thought I would find one of those since they are so secretive. The worm snake was found under a small fallen log about 30 ft off the road. The other 2 and the toad were found road cruising.
I took pictures of all 3 snakes and the toad. I'll post them once I go home tomorrow night.
