Thanks to Jake for informing me about the risk of poachers when asking for good herping locations!

I’ve been wanting to go herping for a while, any ideas of where to go? I’m looking to herp for snakes and newts!

I’ve fallen down the trap of a post like this... once. I was confised by the dead thread so I did some reading on the threads related to this topic. And this is what I found... (in summary)

please don’t share location of you herping treks,even giving The county and state is enough to narrow down to exact location at sometimes. This is a worry because poachers could be given a location to collect rare specimens and wipe tho population. It’s is not to be ignorant to your request but in protection of the location.

I know your not a poacher, along with most people on this site. But these are public forums. DMs areOK just not recommended unless you are sure about the person.
