Last weekend myself and Patton took a little river trip to one of my spots in Maryland. We found five black rats,tons of skinks,a dekay snake, and a worm snake. We had to cut the trip short but will be back this weekend. Hey Phil----post those pics bro!!!!There were two more in the photo if you look to the left on this snake.

Joe (Joecop), and I planned a herping trip
in southern Maryland last weekend. Although it started
off a little rough for me, D.C. traffic and then mechanical trouble with my truck, it all turned out well. We didn't see any of our target species, Eastern Kings, but we did see some interesting behavior from some other more common species, the Black Ratsnake. I've seen this with other species on the west coast, but this was my first experience with a Ratsnake, and with not one, but several snakes in less than an hours time.....
First off, Joe, with one of the days finds.
And a few photos with my, ah natural, Goergia boots in the background! LOL!!
For the entomologists in the crowd, we flipped a rock and
found this spider, species unknown, in it's burrow, protecting it's eggs.
And the highlight of the day! Joe found three Black Rats basking
in the rocks within a foot of each other! Nice work Joe!
If you look closely, you can see the head of one Ratsnake and the body of another.
If you look just left of the Ratsnake stretched out on the crevice, to the first opening, you'll see the snakes in the previous pictures.
Sorry for my point and shoot, sub par photos. Joe I'll see you Saturday!

Very nice! I found a monster 7ft black rat by a cat fishing hole when I lived in southern IL. I was in high school at the time and caught the snake put in in a bucket and continued fishing. When I got done fishing and checked on the snake it had regurgitated four small rabbits! I felt horrible afterward and let it go, but I was very impressed!
