Thanks, and thanks for sharing to the Nature Lovers FB group!

I think both because I don't know what I'll run Into in OK!
Jack Settle
Herping is looking for reptiles and amphibians ("herps" are reptiles and amphibians). You said look for pictures when you come to OK so I was wondering if you were going herping or just taking wildlife pictures.
Jack Settle
Cool. Are you into herping specifically or wildlife as a whole?
Jack Settle
Thank you! We have some awesome herps here in OK. What state are you from?
