those are some really nice pics, i like the salamanders, and the garter pics were real nice

Krloucks · May 5, 2006

Ambystoma's are the best. Nice shots.

NJSnakeMan · May 5, 2006

Yeah, the marbled sals were cool, surprised i'm still finding them since my field guide says above ground in fall. But then again salamanders don't read field guides. Maybe i'll have a chance finding a Tiger Salamander???? Or maybe i'm just pushing my luck.

This land is privately owned.. i know the marbled sal is a "species of concern", is there anything that can be done to maybe get permission from the land owners for the state to check out the area or even protect the area or what?

pics again

People on the fieldherpers forum had trouble viewing the pics, so heres a link to them that worked.

You're certainly rocking out the salamanders lately . . . I need to hit some of your spots soon . . . jeez.

What days are you off? I might be able to find you a marbled salamander.

Bobbleton · May 10, 2006

Unfortunatly i won't be able to meet up with you anytime soon. But the reason is because i'll be in NC. So i feel okay about it. Perhaps at some point when i get back . . . also jay and I just got our inflatable kayaks, so we'll likely be searching for maps (in the delaware) and softshells soon after . . . perhaps manumuskin. You interested?

NJSnakeMan · May 10, 2006

Yeah definitly, i'll have your number so i'll hit you up sometime late May or in June.. Map Turtles and Softshells aren't on my lifelist yet so why not! My friend Andrew might be interested as well. I'll PM you my cell # too.

Krloucks · May 11, 2006

Anyone have any luck at Maurice River yet? I have seen the mapturtles on the PA side across from Trenton a few years ago.

I'm in cumberland county alot and around the maurice, manumuskin, and muskee rivers. Have not seen a softy yet though but probably need a small boat to give my self a good shot. I've heard bull island(I think that is the name) on the delaware is a good spot for maps. If you guys are going out to manumuskin I'm out there every tuesday hiking so let me know. Thanks

Probably in early June I'll come down. I'll let you know.

Bobbleton · May 11, 2006

Same here.

Krloucks · May 11, 2006

Keep me posted if you all set something up.

snakehunter7 · May 11, 2006

is manamuskin around manantico? i shouldnt go into specifics about it, but does anyone have any luck, what do you find there. is there anyone i can leave a private message about a spot i know that wont tell anyone, its a place i heard had tons of pine snake. This place has only turned up a garter snake for me so far though.

dragoncjo · May 11, 2006

Manumuskin almost backs up to menatico ponds. It is a similar type place with the sand wash ponds but also is connected to the manumuskin river. It personally is my favorite place because of the diversity in wildlife it offers. I know that whole area pretty well so if you want to pm me feel free. By the way did you release that hognose?
