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.

Any luck in PA yet?
OK, i know that the weather has been less than optimum for finding herps (specifically snakes) in PA, but what can I say, I can't take it anymore! The past two weekends i have gone out for at least a few hours to go herping and I haven't found squat yet. I am compulsively flipping over every board and log I can find (regardlessof where I am), with the hopes that maybe, just MAYBE there will be something there. Ugh... I can't take the wait any longer!!! Has anyone in the area had any luck yet?

I feel the same. I've been out about 3 weekends in a row and all that I found was a redback sally. The weather has been cruddy though, so that's probably why. Good luck to ya

Patience young grasshopper Same here in central CA. It's been unusually cold and wet here. I think that bodes well for the future season, but it sucks for now. Are you not even able to turn any salamanders or other "cold" type stuff?

lol, ok, so its not something i am doing wrong then. I know the weather has been really brutal, so my hopes haven't been too high, but last year by this time I had a few good finds already!!! I guess part of the problem is I am really passionate about this type of stuff, so its hard to not get really impatient! I was surprised a few years back when i was doing the same (moping that I hadn't found SQUAT yet) and I kicked over a dead log and found a really amazing looking Eastern Rat'ler... Needless to say, i almost crapped a brick for more than one reason, LOL! It was really an exceptional looking animal ::sighs:: I CAN'T TAKE THE WAIT ANYMORE!!! :scatter:

Well I didn't have any ants in MY pants until I read your posts! Yesterday I looked around my parents property for a good amount of time and didn't find a thing. My dad says it's too early for snakes. I don't know, I've never tried this before! I'm going to ask permission from one of their neighbors to see if I can snoop around their pond some time.

lol, yeah, its probably still a bit early, but i have found them this early before, so i would rather that its lack of snakes, not lack of effort that are leading me to come up empty handed. But even still, the wait is just killing me! Must..... Find...... snakes...... NOW............................................... ............

Wood turtle sited
We have a small stream behind our home here in Indiana, PA which is typically infested with wood turtles and snappers throughout the spring and summer. This weekend I took a stroll out back and saw one wood turtle basking along the bank but not for very long after it saw me.
This weekend should be very nice considering they are calling for snow showers this week. I am hoping to get back there with my wife's camera.
