McMartinVille--Reptiles

 
NO NEED FOR A CAR, CLICKED YER MOUSE... AND HERE YOU ARE! "McMartinVille"
 
This site is dedicated to the late Don McMartin, 1954-2000.  He was fascinated by all sorts of "creepy-crawlies," especially reptiles and amphibians, his entire life.  This picture of Uncle Don with a snapping turtle was taken in the summer of 1992.  PLEASE NOTE:  While past authors and outdoorsmen used to advocate handling snapping turtles by the tail (to avoid getting bitten), it is now considered an unacceptable practice by most, as it can seriously injure the turtle.

There is a LOT of material on this site, primarily in the "Field Herping" section.

***UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2006:  I am seeking all information pertaining to reptile-related "sting" operations, including Operations Rockcut and Slither.  My goal is to assemble a timeline of the various actions against herpers, primarily those who were accused but later acquitted.  Illegal activities involving herps should (and will) be condemned, but I want to highlight unnecessary harassment of law-abiding herpers.***
