Thanks Jim and nice pictures by the way, didn't mean to hijack your thread. Chris

Could anybody share any history of the Sooy's my great grandmom name is Irene Sooy and my great uncle Bud was a Sooy. Just curious if anyone has any links to info about them. I sadly don't know much about them.....I probably should.

Eric, most of the herpers on this site are also over at fieldherpforum.com, you may want to post this over there. take care Chris

Just wondering how many points would a quality buck have, something hunters would get excited about. I was in a woods in haddonfield a week or so ago, and saw a half dozen bucks together. One of the bucks was at least a 8 point, was a big healthy looking deer. Just wondering how many points...

Jimbo, the law is kind of setup for the purpose of pet stores selling to new jersey residents. To be honest it is a good law for the turtles, pet stores have no business selling turtles or any wild animal for that matter. Private breeders can sell turtles at reptile shows to new jersey...

Ok let me clear some things up here. Turtles are perfectly legal to own in new jersey as long as you have a permit to keep them and provide documentation that they were obtained legally, NOT wild caught. As new jersey residents you are not allowed to sell turtles to new jersey residents but...

Thanks, I checked out that 1930's map and it did look like farmland. I was wondering whether it was wetlands since everything along the cooper right there is swampy. Also Scott I saw some big bucks with good size velvet antlers back there. I've seen tracks in haddonfield and lawnside but...

Can anyone tell me what the woodcrest speed line was before they built the subway station there and parking lot. Was it farmland, upland forest, meadow, swamp? I recently found some interesting wildlife there by the cooper river and was wondering what existed there before they built everything...

These should have been erected on all highways a long time ago. At least they are starting to build them now, unfortunately most the animals near the road have probably been wiped out.

Steve, no it was exactly that plant. I have day lilies around my backyard pond. I remember thinking they were day lilies only they were facing the ground with a stem that was very thin and up to about my chin and I'm 6 foot 1.

Bob, is that plant rare at all? I saw the same plant and lots of them in crows woods in haddonfield. I thought it was some sort of iris that someone planted there, I will try to get some pictures this week. Chris

Thanks its a canon rebel xt, def the camera and not me.

Yeah Bob's is a black crown a very nice find in the pines. Aren't they endangered?

The cedar water has a tendency to really bring out reds and yellows. If you ever see painted and redbelly turtles in the water they are absolutely gorgeous compared to other water habitats. The cedar water keeps things very clean and when these things go under things to hide it is normally...

Went to my wood turtle spot today in central pennsylvania. My goals were red salamanders, spotted salamanders, wood turtles, and timber rattlesnakes, 2 of 4 were found along with some others. Here are some pics, Big old male wood turtle, with an absolutely huge strong head, Another male...

An old iron stained spotted. A old male it looks like with some battle wounds. About how deep was that water were he was, looks deep?

Thats a beautiful pine snake, very nice find.

I've recently seen three dens like this and have thought groudhog or fox. However I've found three pine snakes right around them recently and snake fences, so I'm thinking that they may be dens. Jeff, one thing you will notice is both dens are in the open along woodsy areas which is typical of...

Jeff, I was thinking along those lines. I've yet to see an actual natural pine snake den, so I'm basing this off pictures. The surroudings of that area are pine snake habitat with the open canopy, which is what made me think along those lines. I've simply seen pictures of them and some look...

Jeff, do you have any more pictures of that fox den, preferably the other side of it? Thanks Chris
