A bit of herping in southern Oklahoma

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

I took a short camping/ herping trip to my favorite pygmy rattlesnake spot in Oklahoma over the weekend. I did not have much luck. I found some copperheads and a big DOR timber rattler but not much else. Hopefully when it cools down just a bit things will pick up

Only a few more rattlesnake species to go…

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

I am getting closer to accomplishing my goal of finding every rattlesnake species in the United States. I have spent a bunch of time in southeastern Arizona, New Mexico and Texas so I have found pretty much every species there. I still need to find an eastern diamondback, a speckled rattlesnake, a red diamond rattlesnake, an Arizona black rattlesnake and a tiger rattler. Hopefully next year I will find those five species.
