Went for a hike (no pictures sorry) this weekend. Saw 19 painted turtles all on the same log basking. Was great to see as its only been over 50 maybe 3 times so far this year. No snakes yet tho :/. lots of salamanders and some crayfish. My friend saved a hatchling painted near his house so spring is upon us!!!!!!! cant wait to go herping! I wish I knew of more places in RI, Conn, and Mass to go explore.
