Hey Jeff this is Eric Rosenthal. I saw your comment on my Mud Snake post and I was just wondering if you could tell me where the swamp is that you are talking about. I have been trying to find one of these snakes in Shelby County for three years now and have only found the DOR. Also its very exciting you found Amphiumas here I've never seen one of those either! Thanks a lot!
