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.

What to find in CT
When the snow melts and I head out to find some local animals what will I be likely to find in Connecticut?

If you mean right after the snow melts, well you may find turtles, salamanders and frogs. Turtles often come out by late February or early march to bask if the day is a warmer one with lots of sun. Salamanders and frogs such as Spotted Salamanders, Estern Newts, Wood Frogs and Spring peepers are all early breeders. Garter Snakes are also sometimes active when in general still pretty darned cold outside, but again on those warmer, and sunnier days that pop up.

Not necessarily right after the snow melts, probably around May or so. What can I find here for snakes besides Garters?

My guess is that CT would have a lot of the same snakes as found in NY. I am not sure all of them would be present. One such as the Queen Snake might not be there, but many others would be. Here is a link to the NY State DEC herp map project that lists all the snakes in NY: NY State Amphibian and Reptile Atlas Project Click on the link for snakes on the page that comes up, and you will get a list of the snakes in NY.
Best regards,
Glenn B

I live in CT and here is what I have found so far.
Brown snakes, ringneck snakes, garter snakes, water snakes, red-bellied snakes (tiny little things), worm snakes, and copperheads.
I have also found several types of salamanders, turtles (including one huge snapping turtle), various frogs, and toads.
I still have never been able to locate a timber rattler but they are very rare in CT.
