HERPING WITH SARAH & CONNIE
I went on a few outings with Sarah and Connie and we had a good time exploring the Golden State. We herped spots that looked like this.

Connie surveying the scene, looking for prime reptile habitat.

A Southern Alligator Lizard that looked to have fully recovered from a severe injury.

We were glad to see that other people like snakes too.

We didn't mistake this Pacific Gopher Snake for a rattlesnake.

Sierran Treefrogs were the favorite things for the girls to catch because "they are so cute." Here are a few of our treefrog finds.

Before you knew it, our time was up. I guess all good things come to an end, but it sure was fun spending a week in California!
