60+ years ago, when I saw my first eastern kingsnake in New Jersey, I could hardly believe my luck. Today, some 60 years hence, I can still remember coming southward with Gordy to central New Jersey from Massachusetts on a spring morning and finding big, beautiful, white-chained, black eastern kingsnakes, Lampropeltis getula getula, as they […]

This is an example of one of the less colorful Rich Mountain salamanders. If discussions about salamanders come up at all, it is often the big mole salamanders, newts, hellbenders, or the Appalachian group of plethodontids that have brought the discussion about. All too often the caudates of the central states are completely overlooked. This […]

This, the western yellow-bellied racer, is the most westerly of the racer clan. Racers as a group of 11 subspecies, range across the USA from Maine and Florida to California and Oregon.

Sympholis lippiens, another of Mother Nature’s wonderfully secretive creations. The Mexican short-tailed snake is a larger- than- normal insectivore. Unlike earlier years when herping south of our border was simply a choice of whether or not to just get up and go, today’s decisions are a more complex decision for me. In fact, the last […]

Drymobius margaritifer, the speckled racer Thornscrub surrounded us.
