Finally we are having mid 70's and now low 80's weather. Just last wens it was 55 and rainy. Due to the nice weather i went down to the local nature perserve and ran around hundreds of frogs. And who else comes out when there are frogs? I spotted the frist northern water snake under some vegitation growth. And then not 20 feet down creek, I scared a frog in and all the sudden another northern water snake jumped in and grabbed the frog, an admazing sight, great way to kick off the nice weather. I got a picture of the first snake, but the second one eating the frog slipped away up under some vegitation while i was getting my camera.

Welcome to NCs dry season

We don't have the typical 4 seasons now, just wet/cold and dry/hot

Nice picture.
What ever happened to the seasons?
We had no Spring.... it went straight from the 50's to the upper 80's here.

If you ever make it to SC, check out the serpentarium at Edisto Beach.

I heard that serpentarium was good. In north carolina we got a new serpentarium that opened this year, but i cant remember where...i think near the beach, but i heard it is a good one to go check out.

Thanks for the compliment, and yea it went from 50 to 80 here. North Carolina doesnt seem to have spring. I don't mind at least its warm and now the herps are out.
