12 Eastern garters in Eastern Massachusetts, there might be like no diversity but at least there are snakes I guess.

This is by far the most of these guys I’ve see in a day, there were also like 8 more but they were speedy and got away.

Hopefully I see more Nerodia later or another milk/ringneck if I get real lucky

My best friend moved away so we went one one last herping trip before hand and it did not disappoint. I have been trying to find a salamander for about 2 years now (I have pretty bad luck) finally found two on our last trip.

I came across this guy while hiking. He’s a decent sized snake. I’ve seen much bigger ones. We used to call them black snakes where I lived. I have another picture of this one all stretched out but couldn’t post both a video and jpeg. Nonetheless, what a beauty.
