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.

Herping in SE PA.
Hello all -
I just recently moved to just outside Philadelphia and would love to get the scoop on the local fauna that can be found without driving 4 hours to the middle of the state.
Thanks,
Kyle

i live in florida, but my grandparents live in Bethlehem. Ive done pretty good with herping up there. Heres a few things Ive found.
Eastern Milksnakes (i believe there protected up there now)
Black Rat Snakes
Northern Water Snakes
Northern Copperheads
Timber Rattlesnakes
Eastern Smooth Green Snakes
Eastern Massaugas (protected)
Thats everything ive found up there before. Your chances is to come down or right in the middle of the state to find the best herps.

I'm lucky if I see anything and I live in the woods!! Did help a friend get a northern water out of an engine last summer. I would die to find a nice black rat ::drool::

If you found an Eastern Massasaugas in Bethlehem then it was on vacation because they're only located in western PA, north of Pittsburg.

I've seen black rats but have either not gotten close enough for a pic, or got close enough but by the time I got my camera out, they were gone. I also have seen one copperhead, but it was before I had a camera or a huge interests in herps.
Herps I have gotten good pics of in SE PA (Bucks, Montgomery, Berks counties);
Garters and ribbons
Eastern milks
Northern ringnecks
North American water snakes
Northern water snakes
Eastern box turtles
North American woods
Sliders and painteds
Eastern muds
Common snappers
Several types of salamanders, including red and yellow backs and the huge (for this area) red salamander
Bull frogs
Green frogs
Pickerel frogs
Wood frogs
Common toads
There may be some I'm forgetting, but the one thing I really want to find that I have never seen around here is an Eastern king snake.
