Hop over and check on the new  PA HERP ATLAS

Hi Everyone,
I’ve got some exciting news about the PA Online Herpetological Atlas. Jason Poston, a visual designer and frequent contributor to the atlas project, has done a terrific job at revamping the entire webpage. He’s also given it a much user friendly address at http://www.paherpatlas.org. Please check it out. You might also want to check out Jason’s herp identification website at http://www.paherps.com. There is still a lot of updating to do – I’m working on more user friendly maps, Jason has been working on some brochures, etc., so keep checking back. Please let us know what you think of the new website and send us your suggestions. You will find our e-mail address and a comment submission form under the Contact link.

Went down to SC for a week with my daughter to visit family and friends. I got to get out a few times and do some herping some by myself, with my dad and sister and with my friend Matt (happyherper). Most of the week was nice weather but twords the end it was a little to cool for herps but we did manage to find a few things here and there.

4 Marbled Sallys
2 Slimys (atlantic probably)
2 Dwarf Waterdogs
1 S Ringneck
1 Pine Tree Frog?

The start of the day I went out a while by  myself then meet up with Matt at a local spot to walk around while while Kyra and my Mom played at the park. I think the big success of the day was Matt flipping the ringneck . First snake of the year.
