never herped port st. lucy. you could try walking canals early in the morning before it heats up too much. night cruising some roads with water or canal on one side of road.

A Corn Snake

@snakebreeder190 That area is not good for a lot of herps. Even road cruising at night i didnt find to much. You will prob have more luck in the everglades. Good luck.

@smetlogik Great video. Keep up the good work.

@adiosk8er4life847 Snake found on the road at night are the easiet. If your looking for corns during the day you have to flip stuff, look on the ground and def look up in trees. Good luck.

@mosy98 I will be in florida early jan. If you live in the everglades area and wanna herp let me know.

[mosy98]

@lacewing183 thanks

[lacewing183]

@mosy98 You just have to hit the roads a lil b4 the sunsets. Make sure your next to the canal and roads with a lot of forest between them are great night herping spots. Good luck.

@smetlogik I herped at Port st lucy in august. Didnt find to many snakes. 1 corn and 2 black racers. The gopher tortoises and the cane toads were abundant there.

[ilikeji]

thanks my grandparents live in Denver maybe we could herp sometime

[ilikeji]

im going to florida in august do you have any suggestions?

[scotth602]

Great finds. I only saw common snake species when I went to the Everglades (ribbons, watersnakes, racers, coachwhips). I did run into a Florida Panther while herping and got a quick photo of it before it disappeared, which made the trip worth while.

[MW2UNoMe13]

@smetlogik Ok, thanks. I might buy one from a reptile shop in Houston depending on the price.

[mosy98]
