Went camping with a couple friends and our significant others over Memorial Day weekend. Found a new spot on a stream with a good variety of landscape and herps.



Parts were rocky





Parts were forest-y… Free car?





Pacific Chorus Tree Frog





In addition to the always-common Western Fence Lizard, we also found a bunch of these smaller lizards with orange throats. Not sure on the ID.





There were quite a few northwestern garters. We also found a couple that were actually interesting.

OR Red-Spotted (T.S. Concinnus)





Melanistic garter – I think it’s a Northwestern





A couple of large Northern Pacifics found between two pieces of sheet metal





A good looking NorPac that was sitting near a shaded stream. This one was much lighter than the other two.





Where’s Waldo?







I’m pretty sure this Alligator Lizard is a Southern as opposed to the live-bearing Northern even though we were at the very edge of the Southern’s known range.
