my place sucks!!!!

[ThamnophisManiac]

i was in the woods by the creek (on a hot humid day) looking for some darn garters for an hour and a half. i flip over every rock i see and every log i see. i had even built a dam a while back (made of rocks...) and flipped all those over and found absolutely nothing. i am really p****d and have concluded that there are 0 garters where i live (mid ohio by akron)

Don't be discouraged! Keep looking. All the garters might have been sunning instead of hiding. If there's water, there's bound to be some sort of garter. Keep looking and try again some other time.

I promise you my place is worse lol. There is probablly 50 acres of woods, with probably 40 of those acres being a protected wetlands, right by a 30 acre lake and I never see any ribbon snakes ( I'm pretty sure there are no garters here.) Sometimes I'll see a copperhead or a coral snake but obviously I steer clear of them.

the beauty of the UK is that we have 6 species of reptile that aren't commonly seen. so to see them is a special experience. (i'll make a thread about it)

sorry to hear you found nothing. keep looking! you are bound to stumble accross something eventually.

We have 5 species, and I've only seen one of them this year.

I'm bored, so please forgive me for typing this crap:
On a scale from 1-5, 5 being very common and 1 being extremely rare:

5. Zootoca vivipara
4. Vipera berus
3. Natrix natrix
2. Anguis fragilis
1. Coronella austriaca

Many a day I've been out for 3 hours looking and found none, just keep at it you'll find one sooner or later!

Don't be discouraged Mike. When I went looking for Grass Snakes a couple of months ago, it was six hours before I saw one. It's a hot spot for this species so I knew they were there, and I'm usually pretty good at spotting them. Even so I was there all day to catch just one. You have to be patient (and lucky) sometimes.
