Hi Shannon,

Those first two Green Snake photos are killer! Did you get a measurement on the big Garter? It looks huge. Are you sure it wasn't an Anaconda?

I don't know if you've ever found an Eastern Hognose before, but that can be quite difficult to locate and often it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

My students searched a sandy area crawling with toads (good habitat for hognose) three years in a row at a Marine Science Consortium before we finally hit the jackpot last year and found two within 15 minutes of each other.

At any rate, late Summer herping usually isn't as productive as Spring herping, so I'd say you found a decent variety of stuff.

E. Hognose as found:
