I am new to the field herping world and was wondering if anyone could offer some advise on how to find them. I've been reading for about 2 years on the matter and will finally have a chance to go out and search a pretty unsearched area for the DNR. What has worked best for y'all and what just hasn't. My college group will be searching up in Paulding for all herps (not just hots or snakes in general) Thanks...Bridget

Hi, to be honest the hardest part of herping is finding the snakes. I have found success in
looking under things (wood, logs, rocks) for certain specimens. Around water you can find others
even in the water. More or less it will be harder to find them during the cold months due to the fact
some are in hibernation. Also they seem to like to come out after a rain storm. Just keep your
eyes open. Good luck. Sorry im not much help.

Hello,
Techniques for feild herping will all depend on were you are planning look and then there are few different ways to do it. On the eastcoast, flipping piled up Tin and trash can be productive were as in the mid to south west, checking rock piles is the way to go. Also, road crusin can be very productive in the right areas, especially after a nice warm rain.
Tell us were you plan on herping and Ill try to give ya alittle more detailed info.
Take care.
Peace,
Jeremy

You should check in any place dark and covered by debris. Be shure to look around fallen trees and any abandoned building equipment like boards, sheets of metal etc. anything a snake could get under to hide.
Also, try to think like a snake, try to find what a snake would want. Try to find food and water sources too.
Good Luck,
Darren
