A quick introduction



For all you newcomers who don't yet know me, I'm Sterling. Along with Ryan, I have been herping since as long as I can remember. I grew up next to a large field, and constantly had snakes in the house. It was either choose to be afraid, or embrace these interesting creatures. As I grow older and find myself more involved with conservation and research, I realize that its a path that I want to follow in my ever so near future.

Eastern Foxsnake - Pantherophis gloydi
As well as being an avid outdoors man, I also very much enjoy taking photos. Its a way for me to document the beauty I see whenever I leave the house, and I get to show the rest of the world some of the more elusive reptile and amphibian species that I come across. As of right now I am in school trying to further me environmental expertise in hopes that one day I can make a great impact on our world and the conservation of all living things.

For your viewing pleasure, I will share some of the amazing species I have came across this year on my travels around Ontario.

Eastern Hognose Snake - Heterodon Platirhinos

Gray Treefrog - Hyla versicolor

Northern Map Turtle - Graptemys geographica
(Melanistic) Eastern Gartersnake - Thamnophis sirtalis

A Trip to the Sunshine State - Part 3

Image
By far the highlight of the trip were the last few days. In South Florida we spent our last day and night looking for a few natives we wanted to see and then mostly invasives. Here's what we found: Corn Snake Green Iguana Three-striped Mud Turtle Florida Cricket Frog Blind Snake Brown Anole Knight Anole Knight Aole Cuban Treefrog Brown Basilisk Tokay Gecko - juvenile Tokay Gecko - juvenile Then, on our last day, the magic happened. We had all but given up on finding an Eastern Indigo Snake but decided to give a search in one last ditch effort before heading home on the long 24 hour drive. And boy was that the best decision ever! Not long into our search Taylor turned up this massive 6.5 foot female Eastern Indigo Snake!

An Early Emergence

Image
2018 started off with some intense weather fluctuations. By mid February we were seeing nights where the temperature would remain positive 5 degrees Celsius or more in the Hamilton-Wentworth Region. And some of these nights had large amounts of rainfall. Although it was only February, I knew that this weather would bring out some early rising amphibians. Particularly the Ambystomid species (mole salamanders). So on February 19th, when the weather was just right, myself and my friend Billy Olds grabbed our flashlights and went out into the night to look for amphibians. When we first arrived on location I was pretty confident that we would find at least 1 or 2 salamanders. But as we walked through the forest across an abundance of ice and snow and past vernal pools that were still completely frozen, that confidence started to diminish. We had even checked the pool where I often see Ambystoma maculatum (Spotted Salamanders) and Ambystma jeffersonianum x laterale (Jefferson x Blue-spot...

During the middle of our stay we herped Central Florida for a day and then went down to the Everglades to look for reptiles and amphibians there. Unfortunately we had some very cold weather and didn't find as many species as expected in the glades.  Here's what we found: Blue Tail Mole Skink Blue Tail Mole Skink Eastern Narrow-mouthed Toad Florida Sand Skink Southern Black Racer Florida Cottonmouth Everglades Racer Peninsula Cooter Add caption We also had some neat bird observations - here are a few I was able to capture on camera Gallinule Add caption And then back to herps...
