Texas in the springtime
I've been out with friends three times in the last three weeks... every time with excellent success. Tons of western diamondback rattlers and western coachwhips. Yesterday we hit the motherload of emory's rat snakes and found 8 of them in the space of about an hour. Other species we've found readily in the Austin area so far this season are checkered garters, TX rat snakes, rough earth snakes, flat headed snakes, TX patchnose snakes, eastern yellowbelly racers, and even a plains blind snake... and of course, tons of green anoles, ground skinks, mediterranean geckos, gulf coast toads, and TX spiny lizards.
It has been a very good selection of species thus far. Going out again next week - when we can all coordinate calling in sick to work to go herping.

I wish I could find emory rats in my area that easily.
They have proven to be very elusive the past two years, and only DOR's are readily seen.
But ive been out twice this year and found:
1 massasuaga (western)
10+ tx rats
2 diamond back watersnakes
tmtc green anoles, ground skinks, cneimidophorus gularis, sceloporus olivaceaus, tantilla gracilis, Thamnophis proximus, Tropidoclonion lineatum, yellow belly racers.
only one cottonmouth (which is par for the course, I usually dont start seeing them for another month or two in any numbers)
but, im also keeping myself resticted to 3 different spots.. so my exposure is limited.
