Atlantic County

[NJSnakeMan]

Is anybody familiar with some old RR Tracks off Rt. 40 near MaysLanding? Are they even still there?

Also, has anybody ever found or heard of Timber Rattlesnakes being found in Atlantic County. All of the ones i've heard of have been in either Burlington or Ocean Counties.

I've never heard of anyone finding one there. However, nj list them as occurring in atlantic, gloucester, and northeastern cumberland counties. They are rumored to exist at peaslee wma in millville. I'll be honest when I read that they were in these counties I was shocked, I think I posted something about this before.

Wow, that could probably be a lot of places. But this comes to mind:

yes that green road headin northwest from the developement is the old rr grade.it's driveable you just have to know where to access it and dont mind getting your truck scratched up.high clearance is necessary but not 4 wheel

Timber Rattlesnake

My boss just informed me that the timber rattlesnake has been sighted or captured here in Pomona, Atlantic County, on Campus (Stockton College.) I'll check with the academics in NAMS (Natural and Marine Sciences) for more information. Some faculty have been here 30 years!

BTW- I'm new here- I'll post an intro in general discussion later...
