Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi guys...I'm from sacramento and I;ve been out in my area and havent had much luck at all. I was wondering if anyone knows any decent spots in the Sacramento Area or within maybe an hour/hour & half that I can go herp at. I am primarily looking for Crotes.

I know a great spot to see Bullfrogs and Pacific Treefrogs that i will hook you up with.

I'm primarily interested in Snakes, specificly crotalus.

Are you into frogs/toads? I know a million spots for tree frogs, bull frogs & toads if your interested.

Man around Sacramento there are plenty of places. You'll find tons of crots around Folsom, I've got l.g. californae in downtown Roseville. Find a field and start flipping.

Have you tried the Vaca Mts. of Eastern Napa county and Yolo county? Lake Berryessa is rattlesnake cental around here, people are always encountering them while fishing, partying, ect. Also Cache Creek below Clear Lake has a lot.

Most of my exploring is done farther West. I see them at Lake Hennessey, Skyline Park in Napa, and Mt. St. Helena and the Palisades near Calistoga.

The Knoxville Berryessa road and the old mining roads near Mt. St. Helena (Ida Clayton, Oat Hill) should be top notch crotalus hunting roads.
