Here is another link you may try out. I live in So Cal and belong to the Southern California Chapter. They have a Southeast Chapter that includes where you live. Most of the people there are field herpers and or herpetologist. They go out in the field looking for herps for pics mostly. Check it out and you may find others in your area that head out all the time. You can also check out the main FORUM and you will see a lot of Florida and such post there as well. Good luck..Rich
