Another Herp Trip

Today, May 16th, was a cooler day. The high only reached 60 degrees. So in the early evening I asked my sons and their friend who was staying over if they wanted to go on a snake hunt. They were all game. I had seen a new spot recently and wanted to check it out so off we went. We mostly came across brown snakes and garters but we also saw some cool spiders. Here are the pics...

This next Eastern Garter was a beauty! She was over 30 inches long and had a real deep copper color. She was real docile as well because of how cool it was. The person holding it at the end is Noel, this was his official FIRST find on his own. He was a little hesitant but he overcame it and caught the biggest snake of the day!
