So far we have found 6 different species of herps.
Though we saw turtles before snakes, I hadn't taken any pictures because I don't often have my camera with telephoto lens while on the canoe. On Sunday, I decided I'd bring it along on the canoe ride, and I am glad I did! We saw at least 5-6 different turtles in various places. The big turtle claimed the big tree that fell into the water, and the other turtles were on other various logs that were floating by the shore.
