Oh then Bob is good at finding them. Jeff, I looked in my pine barrens field guide by Boyd. It states that crayfish are common throughout the pines. I've never seen one, but was told if you go out at night with a flashlight and look in streams you can see many.

Nice report guys. Guy, you have seem to mastered finding those rough green tree snakes. The last time I found one was when I was about 10 in haddonfield. The snake skin looks to be pine snake which would make sense given the area. Jeff, I'm somewhat suprised by the crayfish. I never think...

You guys miss the concept of the show, Bear never claims to perform these stunts. He states over and over the point of his show is for people to always stay on their toes and keep thinking creatively. He simply shows ways to build traps, fires, rafts, what you can and can't eat, etc. The show...

I'm a huge fan of man vs. wild ....but did anyone actually think Bear did alot of that stuff. Bear repeatedly says that he tries to teach things you can do in the wild to stay alive. The concept of the show is not to send bear out into the woods for a few days and for him to survive, that is...

I have seen coyote tracks and dens near cherry hill. A guy I know in the same woods got a picture of one on his field cam in february....a beautiful animal and one gaining quite a increase in numbers.

I would be interested also but I will be at the phillies game. Thanks for asking also.

I hear you, this went in a direction I did not want it. I more or less wanted to let people know to leave things like railroad ties there, and find out what happens if a snake was encountered, mainly to be aware that these things provide refuge for animals sometimes. I agree trash is hideous...

:bang: At least I got through to one person, thanks Mark. Scott, I realize you will kill a snake if you see one but I'd appreciate it if you could leave it there so people who have a interest in them can continue studying them before people like yourself wipe them out because of ignorance...

I should note that I'm not talking about things like old bottles, cans, small cardboard, things like that. I'm mainly referring to the railroad ties, large boards, mounds of tires, larger things that are deeply routed and entrenched. I have found at least 4 pines snakes, tiger salamanders...

Well I agree the fauna certainly did get along fine before we started dumping our crap. Unfortunately many snakes get use to our crap being there and use it as rookeries, dens, etc. My only point is that I hope some care is taken if a snake is encountered, and also to let people know that...

First off I appreciate everyone's effort in helping keep the pine barrens clean. However, I have some concerns and questions regarding wildlife that exists within this trash. I can't help but notice from that one picture that railroad ties are being removed from the woods. My concern is that...

I agree with nascar, while I would appreciate everyones concerns(very nice on everyones part) I don't think I wouldn't want all the details available in the future.

Sue that is a fence swift, they are master of hide and seek and a constant while herping the pine barrens.

I found this scat in camden county along the cooper river. My initial reaction is bear....but I really can't rationalize a bear being in camden county. There is loads of deer and fox in this woods and possibly coyote. Any ideas? Sorry for posting scat pics.....but I'm curious to what other...

Scott you can put down the 12 gauge now, http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/news_top/20070911_Killer_caught_on_South_Jersey_hospital_grounds.html

If the turtle was that size 11 years ago I would say it is around 16-18 years old. Some species of turtles you can count growth rings, such as box turtles, painteds you can't though. It is hard to determine water turtles age. The best way in the wild is by seeing how big it is. A painted...

Those are italian wall lizards. They were introduced into new york city decades ago and have thrived ever since. There was also a population of them in philly at one time, but from my understanding are no longer there. Nice find. chris

Those fences attract too much attention, just like the ones at the sanctuary. Hopefully they have the same signs that are at the sanctuary which impose a heavy fine for tresspassing. All those snakes are going to die eventually there anyway.

Guy part of the property I was on use to be a pasture or farm of some sort. Many boxies have injuries from tractors, such as big cracks in there shells. Yes they do have lots of room in there shell at the top. Most of it is a air pocket to protect them if they get in deep water. Boxies are...

With all the heat and lack of rain I figured the last two days would really drive mud, spotted, and box turtles out. The spot I was going to has high numbers of all three and my goal was to find babies in muddy dried up vernal pools and leaf litter. I didn't find any babies, but lots of juvies...
