Herp note 5: Chattahoochee State Park

Last weekend I got to go out to Chattahoochee State Park (border of Florida and Alabama) with the 13 students from Herpetology class lab by Brian Folt. Our goal was to check out the wetlands (possible habitats for the one-toed amphiuma and sirens).

Over the course of two days, we saw over 14 species of herps, some of which I’ve witness for the first time:

  * common snapping turtle
  * Common cooter turtles
  * Squirrel tree frog
