I'm a big fan of cospics and mandarina so any field info on them is hungrily devoured. That's why your post is extraordinary. How many herpers get to go to Japan?

As fo the herping in Massachusetts, for what there is here, I guess it was a good year. Or at least it started out well. In late May I went for a nice hike in prime milk snake territory and saw several nice looking specimens. But the species I brought home was the Lyme Disease bug. Not having seen the tell-tale "bulls-eye" spot anywhere I didn't know I had it and even though I continued feeling progressively lousier I didn't know I was in need of a doctor. So by the time I went looking for help in late July I was well past being interested in herping. Boy, who knew herping was hazardous to your health?

I think the mud-puppies are in the Connecticut River Valley and I thought I once heard that they were an introduced species but that could be misinformation. I've never seen them but maybe one of the other New England herpers here could chime in on that.

Keep up the great posts.

Best regards
John
