Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am going to Lawrenceville Illinois from May 5 - May 9. The part of the state I am going to is right on the Wabash River in the South Eastern part of the state. What kind if any types of reptiles inhabit this area? thanks in advance. -Joe

hmmm... It'd be a bit out of the way, but if you have the time to make a side trip to Shawnee National Forest(coolest place ever!) I highly suggest it. There's a road that's closed for one month in the fall and spring due to snake migration between the bluffs and swamps, plus the whole place is really interesting. Basically the main reptile is the cottonmouth, as well as ringneck snakes, worm snakes, garters, corns etc... As far as lizards I think skinks are about it. I saw a HUGE 5-lined that got away when I was down there.
