Well I'm back and as expected the herping was tough. Despite serious effort I only came back with seven life listers. When I arrived I spent the first three days north of Myrtle beach with family. After that I headed south to Jasper Co for four more days of herping. Most herps were found road while crusing in the evenings. I found and fliped some great tin sites but only found a couple Racers, it was just too hot. Species and numbers listed below:
I also got a life lister bird, a Swallow-tailed Kite, Beautiful!

I'm moving to Delmar (St Louis) this month, so all you STL herpers drop me a line and we'll do some herping.
Thanks to all who provided information regarding SC herping.
