Herps of River Bend Nature Center
by Brianna Sander

Reptiles and amphibians (aka “herps”) are some of the more elusive animals to be found around River Bend Nature Center. Some, like the Painted Turtle and Garter or Brown Snakes are relatively abundant and frequently spotted, while others, like the Wood Turtle and Spiny Softshell Turtle are only found by the most patient, as there are not only less common but they are also shy and well camouflaged.
