Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

are you serious? come to the west side... at the kalamazoo nature center alone, they have documented many, many sightings on their property. i know the fish hatchery in kalamazoo has several on their propety as well. battle creek is most notorious though. if anyone ever wanted to go herping, i'd be down... especially if you're experienced, because i'm certainly not.

yeah, again in the 70's I used to see tons of them in the Irish Hills Mich. area, predominantly in the Onsted State game area, my family had a cottage on a lake near there for over 40 years and as a young man I was seeing them quite often, and I still get up there regularly fishing and in some of the same areas where I used to find them, on another note however the brown (NOrthern) Water snake is still very abundant there..

There is a pretty healthy colony near the National Guard base in Grayling, MI.. I saw two while camping last summer. They are very shy, and I never would have noticed them had I not been actively looking.

Unfortunately, massasaugas are not listed as an endangered species in Michigan. In fact, they aren't even considered threatened, but are only listed as a species of special concern. They are also not listed as federally endangered, but they will probably be within the next few years. Michigan seems to be one of their last strongholds. But even here they aren't doing so hot.
