If you're looking for amphibians, cruise country roads in the early evening during or right after rains.

also, is exploring the canadian river (in oklahoma) worth it to possibly find mudpuppies? i looked it up and it said they were rather elusive, so i don’t want to drive all the way out there, turn over a bunch of rocks in some cold water, and find nothing. would be thrilled if i could find one though

It will be hard right now - try at night in the winter with a flashlight in the shallows.
