Default A Little Herping adventure

Over the last few weeks I have been going out to "the field" to learn about botany, but on the way, we come across and talk a little about reptiles and amphibians.
So here are some of the guys we have come across:

Some sort of black water snake(sorry don't know much about these)




I couldn't believe my luck when I actually saw this little guy, and caught it, Pseudacris crucifer(Hyla crucifer) Spring Peeper.


Rana clamitans, green frog (Not to be confused by the Bull frog) this is a gravid female.




Bull frog Tadpoles:




A Baby Snapping Alligator



A red eared slider



A two lined salamander Eurycea bislineata, this was pretty cool (we found 5 of these in one little brook, under stones.



All the animals were quickly released after their photo expose.
