Yep. Yesterday while out enjoying the 80 degree break from winter down here in the Dallas, TX area I caught myself a good sized Southern Copperhead. Anyone else have any luck yet?

Wow, that is cool..I live in West Virginia, and it has not reached above 45 degrees yet, and am getting cabin fever bad, I need to see wild herps now!!! The ones at my local pet store are just not doing it.... Anyone else in Texas or surounding areas seen any herps out? please let us know?.. PS I caught 4 female Northern Copperheads and 2 were gravid!!! 18 babies last spring!! It was cool I got some cool pics watching it!

Around Abilene we've seen a couple Emory's rats, a few Diamondback water snakes, and our first western diamondback has surfaced as well. My trip to the roadcuts yesterday turned up nothing, (was only there an hour though)but I am hopeful for a pair of Mexican Milks here in the next week or so if the weather holds steady. DH

Man, I hope you lucky, lucky people realise just how.........well, lucky you are with your native herps. Observing Crotalus and Agkistrodon in their natural habit!!! Now that is something! Regards, the Green-Eyed Monster.
