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.

Getting excited for the spring in Jersey...
I'm trying to make a point of being more active seeking out native herps this year and taking photos of what I come across. The frogs, toads, and turtles will start showing their faces soon enough, shortly followed by the colubrids. Fortunately, I live in a fairly rural, reptile rich(for jersey) area of my state...only 20 minutes from the Delaware Water Gap and Appalachian Trail. Anyone else from Jersey looking forward to going out to see what you can find? Any suggestions for good spots that may be worth a day trip? I know the Pine Barrens are supposed to be probably the best herping area in the state, but that's a huge place. What would be your "ultimate" find? For me it would be a coastal plains milk snake, a corn snake, and a queen snake.

I thought everything in New Jersey was protected with enforcement agents behind nearly every tree?

Hahaha Rich, everything in Jersey is protected, so I don't plan on taking anything, just looking...
I moved a huge snapper across out of the road once and some guy saw me, probably thought I was going to keep it, drove by my house half a dozen times and told me he was going to call Fish and Game. Nothing ever transpired, but I wasn't too worried, because I was really just helping a turtle across the road.

Haha good story, I am surprised I live in the stick of South Jersey and people don't understand anything about nature,I tend to give the dirty looks for questioning what I am doing as they more nosey then of any help. Enough of the rambling while I was on the quad today, this nice first snake of 2012 (black racer) caught my eye and I grabbed a few pics before releasing him back where I found him.
I set him down to let him go and to snap a few last pics but he was pretty intent on hiding, cant blame him
