Got back an hour ago- around two. rain rain rain, and more rain. I did find another marbled salamander! This time a female, and she was in a totally different location. What i noticed is you can actually see the hole on the side of the rock where the salamander started to dig down into the...

Yup. He's absolutely right. It's about 60 degress, saturday morning, and raining. Maybe this is good salamander breeding weather??? Well, i'll send in the report later on tonight. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/ensp/pdf/species/marbled_salamander.pdf

Thanks Dave! About the marbled salamander- the males generally have white crossbands, where in the females they tend to be a more grayish dusky looking color...? Wanted to know whether this is reliable enough to determine it's sex. I want to record the ammount of males VS females i find in this...

Before i even clicked on the link, i was going nuts. 14-15 TIMBER RATTLERS. AND 5 PINE SNAKES. That's unheard of!!! But i was really, really, REALLY disapointed when i didn't see any photos what so ever. He said the story will be in the reptiles magazine, my friend gets those in, so i'll check...

Bob, good luck at the Gap sunday night.

"There is no region I know that holds so much and yields so little as the Barrens, yet repeateded failure here serves only to strengthen determination. The true Pine Barrens addict never gives in to discouragement or frustration. He is like a gambler who, after repeated losses, still continues...

Maybe it's because the northern ssp prefers a more rockier habitat? But then again, why wouldn't the southern ssp be in south jersey then??????? This one has me really thinking now. Like woodjin said, maybe the deleware river???

I tried looking up on that- came out empty. Only thing close enough i found is that they have communal egg laying sites. Something i never knew before! Oh yeah- i wanted to ask you. Since radio tracking systems cost to much for me, i decided to do it the cheap way! Is it okay to mark the...

I remember of my friend Al (he use to be on this site, haven't talked to him forawhile, wusup man you still out there or what?!?!) and he told me about some lake that dried up due to a drought. Said there were dozens of water snakes down there picking off easy meals.

Anyone know of any parks or spots to hike in and around the maurcie river or it's tributes? I've been wanting to check out this river system for awhile now. Closest i've been was at the Manumuskin River Preserve, but i was at some reservior and nature trails.

hmm...funny, i was thinking about heading out to find some box turtles today too! I'm not sure where in Manumuskin you went, i usually go down this one trail and it eventually opens up to some kind of reservior. Around the area are drift fences set up by biologists for pine snakes.

Thanks guys, i'm going to check back at this spot maybe next week?? I figured there should be a hibernation den near by, according to my field guides green snakes should be hibernating by now! So he shouldn't be far from a den.

Burmese Python are well established in isolated parts of FL now. A lot of them were released because they got to big for pets, there are a lot of other introduced species in FL as well. Too many to name.

crazy

they are venomous, whether or not how venomous they are- dosen't matter. every venomous snake should be treated equally. away from that.. timber rattlesnakes are very docile ( the ones found in NJ ) To get bitten, you would of have to been really screwing with the snake. I don't know if...

Oh yeah- his den site was buldozed. The last rattlesnake was actually a dead one, found near the den site with it's tail (and maybe head) cut off. It was the last time he's ever returned to Mt.Misery, it was too sad for him to see. But his friend claims to have found 2 baby rattlesnakes in his...
