The place I go herping close to home is a community called meadowview which is near the mall. It's a large open field divided in two by North General Kearny. I go to the east-most side because that's where the most snakes are. The lizards are common in the debris piles that people throw in the ravines and also in the creekbed. For the most part you really can just pick them up. Very few run off; most just stand their ground like a badass.

Another place I go is just outside of town (in the wine country) is an offroad haven called sticks. Good herping out there all the way out to lake skinner. Check it out, you won't be dissappointed.
