Almost herpin time again.

Just thought that I would post a few pics taken last spring at a beaver pond in central new york were I like to watch the N.v.v courting and check out the A maculatum eggs.

If someone wanted to do some herping for the first time where should they look for newts/salamandars? I live in Minnesota and am interested in doing a herp field trip thing here.

**reminder: as it says in the sticky heading this section,
"We all like to share our field experiences, but not everyone knows where to observe a species in the wild. This is a good thing because not everyone is as ecologically minded as you. Individuals who collect rare species or who like to collect wild herpetiles for sale would love you to give details of where to find those species on a public forum. So please don't. In the US, even revealing the county can be enough because counties are small and google has satellite maps!

Do the animals a favour and generalise: use state names, province names, mountain range names, even country names. You'll help preserve the lives of those animals and you'll be able to return to the same place knowing they'll still be there."
