We South Carolina herpers made our first foray into the field this week. Armed with dipnets, field guides, and boots of all shapes and sizes (some mismatched!), we set out in search of the elusive amphibians of the Francis Marion National Forest, in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Despite the drought, our trip was a success. We found four species of amphibians and one reptile, none of which you Ohio herpers will encounter up in your neck of the woods. After a fun afternoon spent herping, we headed back to civilization, soggy and muddy, but smiles intact.I'll leave it to the students to blog more about our trip and the species we saw.

Hey...Good to see you! Ya'll must be freezing! (MDB)
The field trip was a great experience. It was my first time and I had fun trying to catch them. Our class found four species; Ambystoma talpoideum, Acris gryllus, plethodon, and a anole lizard. If I'm missing anything please fill in. (posted by siddiqui)
