    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

HI there
Anyone been herping lately in Eastern NC? I live in Emerald Isle and haven't had much time for herping this year (kick a$$ new job) but i was wondering if anyone has found anything cool. Also things are slowing down a bit at work and after Sept 9th i will have more time to devote to herping. I know a few good spots and if someone is looking for a herping partner in the JAcksonville, Cape Carteret, or Morehead City area let me know. I'll be ready.
 
Hey Pitbull,
I went out a few times and so far I have only seen a 4ft Timber/Canebrake Rattler, a juvenile Copperhead and yesterday I stumbled across a baby Eastern Hognose snake that I almost stepped on. It had the redish color phase and really cool. I live in Havelock, NC and would be interested in some herping whenever we can get our schedules to match up. Keep me in mind, names Jeff.
 
Went out tonight for short herping trip with the kids after they got home from long weekend at their mothers house. Found this little guy right before dark on dirt road in craven county. Only got a few pictures due to trying to get video as well. Didn't turn out too bad for first try at getting pictures. I am sure I will get better with time and more opportunities. Not sure if the picture is going to post. Guess I do not know what I am doing. Suggestions?
 
picture upload problems

I figured out my image size was too big but I still can't get it to show up when I preview the message I am typing. I thought I would show up inside my message but I have no idea where my image is going after I successfully upload it. Anyone care to offer some suggestions to a newby?

Nevermind....last time tried to put picture before typing message and this time I typed message and then posted picture and it took it. Enjoy!
 
Just got back into town

Hi Jeff,
Sorry i didn't get back to you sooner. I was in Saint louis for a friends wedding. But we definitely need to go herping soon. Sounds like you've had som nice outings lately. Lets keep in touch.
 
Went out yesterday...

Didn't see much but it was really a nice day. Probably too warm though when i went out. But maybe next time i'll find some more.

Not wierd at all Jason, you could have stumbled upon a box turtle graveyard. did you see any other empty shells around? :)
 
Didn't see any others

But i was mainly looking sor snakes, so I guess I'll have to go back and poke around some more. Do turtles commonly go to the same place to die?
