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.

One thing I've learned over the years is the AZ crowd is very secretive about giving out roads or spots over a public forum. The reason why is so many people from out of state head there every year during the monsoon and lots of popular roads have become flooded with herpers. Your best bet would be to download google earth and find roads in your area. Drive out to them and see how they look. It may not feel like it right now but in the end there's nothing better than finding your own spots without any help. Its much more rewarding then having someone point it out to you. Good luck.

alot of people that do field herping also collect to sell, that is why they don't discuss areas to go, they are land rapers and clear the area out of species... this is a very bad practice...
if your looking for places in avondale, take bell road past the 303... there is an area up there.. usually find the banded geckos, night snakes, desert hairy's devils striped tail scorps, mojave's and atrox, fence lizards...
depends on what your looking for but don't even dare collecting on south mountain allthough there is a TON of stuff out there...
areas east of AJ are good right off the road past the reinnesance fair grounds...
the white tanks..
saguaro lake at night after the rains you can find flagstaff orange tarantulas....
thats about the areas i like to look for the most part.

South Mountain is a city park. All wildlife etc is fully protected in the park.

Like he said there are lots of people herping in az. Most of us don't let other people know about hot spots, and it is not safe at all to walk around in the desert with out a someone who has experience! There are many clubs that go out on events with great results.. we just don't want to be the one who told someone new to go look in a good place and find out later they died from a rattle snake bite or even worse got lost in the desert and ran out of water...
Try here. It's a great way to start and monthly meetings are held
