What do you get when you talk about something you’d like to see while herping for something else? Sometimes, you find that very thing. That’s what happened to me.

So begins a new chapter on this blog: I’m going to start posting videos and pictures from my herping adventures right here so you all can view them at your leisure! What’s in this edition of Duke’s Herp Files? A video comprised of happenings on 7/16/15 (north central Florida) and 7/28/15 (near the Gulf Coast of Florida), including a ribbon snake munching on a frog and my friend and I releasing a blue phase Eastern garter snake! Two photo albums from the aforementioned dates. Enjoy!
