The Auburn Herpetological Society began the 2000-01 school year with a trip to The Tall Timbers Research Station in Tallahassee, Florida. The next trip was to Pine Mountain State Park in Georgia, home of the beautiful Callaway Gardens.

    A group of 10 undergrad. & grad. students travelled to Georgia on the morning of September 30th, 2000  in search of as many herps as possible. Below are pictures taken of just some of the many fauna Pine Mountain has to offer.
