I am creating this list of snakes and where to specifically find
them in NJ. I want to share it so other snake enthusiasts can
view all our wonderful snakes! So far I have 5 snakes, being that
I started it at the begining of spring I have not found too many
species yet. I hope to complete the list A.S.A.P, so if anyone
has had any snake sitings by your house please tell me! The list
so far! (keep in mind most of these snakes are found ALL throughout
NJ but these are the places *I* have seen them personally)
