First Herping Trip of the Year
Since I had a rental car for the weekend and was down in Savannah, GA moving my grandmother out of her retirement home, I decided to try to find some new herping spots. All and all, I think they went through and cleaned up all the Tin  I decided to take one more back road before hopping ont he freeway to head home. Turned out to be a sweet spot next to an old cemetary down about 3 dirt roads. The further back I went , the more tin and abandoned buildings. I actually did not have my hopes up too much since the lows were in the low 40's and it was about 72 outside. Under the LAST piece of tin (in full sun), I found this beautiful Eastern Kingsnake. Not a bad start to the herping season since it was the exact species I was looking for.

Great find Brian!
I am hoping things stabilize here too... two weeks ago it was in the 70's last week 50's, this week it looks like the low 60's.... maybe this weekend will pan out so we can get some herping in here.

Good to see your first herping trip had some better luck than mine. Mine got me into some tiny 100-people town named Miami, CO, a sudden-10 degree drop to about 52 with high winds, and not one single piece of tin to flip. Oh well, maybe when it gets warmer.

lol, that is the exact opposite of what I did. I tend to talk to myself when I am working int he herp rooms or herping by myself (yeah, who woulda thunk it). I said out loud, "I don't need to find an Eastern, I just want a nice King."
