Please remember when you are out and about on your herping adventures that it is illegal to collect most wild specimens without the proper permits from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. So please remember that you can catch and photograph many of these species but be sure to put them back where you found them so that they can continue their necessary part in the environment.
We are currently working on providing pictures for all of the species listed here. Please bear with us as we continue to add new photos to help with your identification. If you have photos to share then .
