You seem pretty well on your way already to safe and fun field herping. I go quite a bit in the forest where I work as the biologist. Rotten logs are a good start. One place I like looking is the loose bark on a dead tree that is still standing. The scarlet kingsnakes love to hang out in these tight spaces between the tree and bark. But I suggest you try to slightly peel back this loose bark and not tear it off completely as that would destroy the mini- habitat. Another good spot is places where people have dumped trash such as large metal panels or big pieces of plywood. The snakehook and gloves are good ideas, and don't forget the camera!
