Winter Herping in SC

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.

Jan 5
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.
