Mead County Kentucky, Today, 5/4/08
None of the big game we were looking for, but some interesting finds none the less.
Prairie King snake (Lampropeltis calligaster)
This was a new species for this location (and for me personally)
Western Earth Snake (Virginia valeriae elegans)
This was a new species for this location (and for me personally)
Worm Snake (Carphophis amoenus ssp)
Meade county is a natural intergrade range between C. a. amoenus and C. a. helenae. Both ssp and the intergrade exist in the county so your guess is as good as mine.
Easten Fence Swift (Sceloporus undulatus)
Fowler's Toad (Bufo woodhousii fowleri)
And some really interesting Non Herps.
Homo sapiens jamesii
Farmus toolus tractorii (deceased)
Thanks for looking.
