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.
