Thats true Ben you guys do go deep in the pines, but......trust me they are very harmless. You have to mess with them real bad to be struck. Star, we don't have water moccassins in NJ. The only poisonous snake you will encounter in SJ is the timber rattlesnake. Also were you live there...

Does LEHT refer to lower egg harbor township? If so you are probably seeing diamondback terrapins. There are completely harmless to your dogs as would anything else off your dock. Snapping turtles may be around but pose no real threat to a dog. Is the water brackish/salt? If they are...

Sue, I just read yours, must be the same one.......it is just near the carnegie center....I've seen him probably once a week since late winter...but always flying away from the river back towards 295.

Guy, sure that wasn't Bob and I.......sounds like were we were parked. Bob knows the nest Emile showed him......I don't think it is in that spot though....I'll have to ask Bob. I think there are even more pairs of these guys out there......I see one about once a week flying over the millstone...

Don't think I've posted these before, Rough Green snake in a black racers mouth, Fortunately the racer wanted to get a piece of me more then the green snake. He spit the rough green out, snapped and me then bolted. Here is a shot of the rough green after he spent some time in the racers...

Jeff, try a send it again....my box was full..... Chris

Guys, no one should worry about timbers. They are pretty rare in this state and if you see one consider yourself lucky and move on. Guy did not stumble upon these they are at a spot Bob and him visit every year. With that said they can be tough to see because of their camo. However, they...

Al, those tigers are from the winter found two one day, and another a few weeks later. Al, you didn't miss much, we saw little after you left.....they saw some pbtf's at night but I wasn't with them. Bill you recordings are awesome I still can't believe pine barrens treefrogs are at that...

Its been a real long time since any of the herpers have posted pics, so I figured I'd throw some out there, Female spot in situ Pine barrens treefrog, Carpenter frog, Copes tree frog, Tiger salamanders, I'm working on a project with the state, so in the coming...

I agree with Jeff, video games and garbage on tv are keeping people inside. I can't remember the last time I drove by a field and saw kids playing sports like I did when I was a kid. Everyday until I was a teenager I was out at culbertson school in barrington playing football....you just don't...

Bill, I've heard some of your recordings from Al(manumuskin). They are awesome recordings, and anytime you want to post them I'm all ears. Have you record anything recently from the Belleplain area?

I've seen a good amount of destruction from off road vehicle use. I've seen vernal pools obliterated and destroyed, pine snake nesting sites destroyed...I think it would be great if they were registered...the money could be used for a good cause at least.

That would make sense.....there is great stripper fishing not far away at all. I'm always worried about spotted turtles. Bobbleton was with me a took a peak in the tank and saw nothing.....there was several other cars along the road, so maybe it was fishing related. Almost called a few...

Yesterday out in the pines of cumberland county I came across something that maybe you guys could provide insight to. There was a truck on the side of the road with a 200 gallon rubbermaid stock tank. It was filled with 8 inches of water with a aeration system on it to provide oxygen. The car...

Common slider is normally referred to as a red eared slider......or the dime store turtle. It is found in nj after being introduced(by accident) during the 50's-70's. Slider's refer to a whole species with many subspecies.

Andy you from Heights?

Gabe, they sometimes fade with age.....also the mud from stream like the rancocas(outside the barrens) mucks up there head and disguises it. At the same time the iron, cedar water sometimes blemishes their head. For the most part the one or two stripes are there but just faded. I'll have to...

Gabe(I think), The northern redbelly has a very limited range, its stonghold is obviously here in southern nj. They do retain one or two stripes on there head into adulthood, and the ones found within the cedar streams are by far the most pretty. They are in the slider family and throughout...

He/she was probably born late summer of 2006, possibly overwintering in the nest.....so 1.5 years old. They start to lose alot of there coloring around 5-6 inches long. The bright coloration in young may keep predators away, as some brightly colored things are posionous.

Yes, baby redbelly......one of the few turtles that gets less attractive with age. Don't see many babies nice find.
