I know what you mean. I decided to go out on my own because I wanted to herp all night, and the guys I've been going with "wimp out" around 3:00 am. I herped from 6:00 pm until 7:00 am, and the worst thing happened. Around 6:45 as I was finally giving up and leaving because it was about to get too hot, I found the best looking rosy boa I have ever found. I had found one around 11:30 that night but kept going another seven hours in hopes of finding another one. It payed off, so now I'm even less likely to "wimp out". I need help!

Your doomed. It only gets worse from here.

1. The more lights on the vehicle the better.
2. Try to get the lights lower to the ground if possible.
3. Good brakes are key if you drive fast.
4. 2 schools of thought on roadcruising. Faster = cover more ground but see less of the road. Slower = cover less ground and catch everything you see.
5. Obey traffic laws.
6. Have fun and take lots of pictures...

Good Luck,

Steve

Don't be a wuss! I went out cruising when I had a badly sprained ankle. In fact, I sat on the front of car and jumped off everytime to grab a frog or snake, despite my HUGE aircast and aching leg.
