I really liked Okeefenokee. You can see herps on the boardwalk. When I was there (quite a few years ago) it was Summer and we saw lizards (skinks and anoles mostly) as well as gators. We also found a racer, grey rat snake and cottonmouths - as well as a pickeral frog - all just from walking the public boardwalk.



The real highlight came as we were leaving the boardwalk area: my first rattlesnake, an eastern diamondback, was right there in the middle of the road! Needless to say, many pictures were taken (maybe I'll try to scan them and post them tomorrow). I was in disbelief at how impressive the snake was (although in retrospect, it was probably average-sized). Not five minutes later, as we were driving away, I straddled something in the road with the car. I slammed on the brakes and my buddy just looked at me like "What's up with that?"



"Another snake," I said. And there in the road was a pygmy rattler. We took photos of that too.



So yeah, I'd recommend Okeefenokee.
