Hello,
I just arrived home from a short trip we took to the Apalachicola National Forest on 5/05 - 5/07. Here is what we noted while there...
4 DOR Eastern Diamonback Rattlesnakes, ranging
from a 4 1/2 adult on 98 to a neonate about twenty inches found on Camel Lake Road.
17 Gulf Coast Box turtles AOR
4 2-3' Fla. Banded watersnakes AOR
1 Southern Pinesnake 5' adult female AOR
1 Pigmy Rattlesnake 17" DOR
2 Pigmy Rattlesnakes 12" and 15" AOR
1 Red Bellied watersnake 22-24" DOR
1 Coachwhip 3' AOR
2 Eastern Glass Lizard 10" and 31" AOR
1 Neonate Southern Copperhead 9" DOR
1 31" Southern Copperhead DOR
1 American Alligator 5' or so AOR
2 Three Striped Mud turtles AIW ( Alive In Water) :)
1 Eastern Garter snake 16" DOR
3 Neonate Florida Cottonmouths AOR
1 Corn snake 4 1/2' AOR
1 Corn snake 36" DOR hit right in front of me on 65!
2 Corn snakes 26" and 18" AOR
1 Adult Red Bellied Slider AOR
1 15-17" Common Snapping turtle AIW (Alive In Water) :)
1 Florida Cottonmouth 32" AOR
9 Southern Coal Skinks AOR
2 adult male Broad Headed Skinks AOT (Alive On Tree):)
and possibly one 3-4'Blotched Kingsnake AOR in the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge. Turned around as quick as possible but snake escaped. Talked to a worker there at the Park and he said he has found several lately crossing the roads in the Refuge. :)
What a great trip!

Sounds like you had one great trip! That southern pine is one heck of a find! Post some pics under the field herping section, we'd all love to see um.

I did, I do not think they will post until tomorrow. I have not uploaded all of them yet. It WAS a great trip. Too bad about the DOR's. It DID HOWEVER cost about 200.00 dollars in fuel, almost three tanks. It was worth it though. It always is.
