i went to my grandmas house today and found a big pile of tin and flip 2 jet black realy shiny coachwips!!!! they had beautiful pink on the belly and one was 5foot 2 inches! and i also found what i think is a marble salamander sorry i have no pics

Which county does your Grandmother live in? Besides finding some wild coachwhips, I am also wanting to find at least one live wild salamander this year.

Found a dead one in Mohawk park but still no live ones.

I am always keeping an eye out for good places to go herping.

shes near seminole. have you found any venomous herps this year the olnly one i found was a copperhead but im realy hoping to get a timber in the last month before we go back to school and what other herps have you found this year?

No, nothing venemous.

The only outings I have made this year are in mohawk park. Plus a few east of town (locust grove area) but nothing venemous yielded.

I have heard some reports of Timber Rattlesnakes being found in the wooded areas south of Jenks and it was even on the local news last year.

I am trying to figure out which land is public access so I can get some people together.

Sorry, I forgot to answer part of your question.

Racerunners, 5 Lined and Little Brown (Scincella lateralis) skinks. Eastern Racers, Brownsnakes (Storeria dekayi texana), Ribbonsnakes, Rough Green Snakes, Blotched watersnakes, Black ratsnakes,

Spiny Softshell turtle, Red Eared Slider, Ornate & 3 Toed Box Turtles,

Southern Leopard Frogs, Western Chorus Frogs, Blanchard's Cricket Frogs, Eastern Narrow Mouthed toads.

I guess the salamander was a "Small Mouthed Salamander" based on ranges in the field guide I don't know what else it could have been?

cool ive had some good luck this year with 4 coacwhips lots of speckled kings 1 prarie king a few racers and the common stuff like rat snakes water riibon garter and ringneck o and a copperhead early this year

I still have yet to find either a prarie kingsnake or a speckeled?
