reptilica1386

hey its early in michigan

so you people in florida can probably laugh since i guess the animals are already out there

so far this year i have heard corus frogs, spring peepers, lepard frogs, and wood frogs croaking this year.. i also caught a female lepard frog yesterday and held her for a minute then let her go again( no rams i wasnt planning on cutting her open and see whats inside if you wonder) i also saw 3 painted turtles i have a swamp next to my house and one behind it and a lake behind it too so i have a lot of oportunintys for field herping... hopefully someone finds this at least alittle interesting

There isn't many herps in the city here, But I'll be going to the Traverse city area next weekend. I want to find some turtles. =) ... And froggies. Maybe a few snakes, but theres more snakes more south in michigan than up north.
