As a reminder reptiles are generally lizards, turtles & snakes. Amphibians are usually frogs and salamanders.
Don’t touch the snakes, please.

Herping is the act of searching for amphibians or reptiles. The term, often used by professional and amateur herpetologists, comes from the word “herp”, which comes from the same Greek root as herpetology, herpet-, meaning “creeping”.
Herping

• The morning and evening are good times to find reptiles.
• Check under logs or other hiding places.(Roll the log or rock toward you so that you don’t get bit.)
• Search around watery areas.
