What would you consdifer to be Ontario's:
(1) Hardest to capture herp (once you've spotted it)?
(2) Most elusive herp (may not be hard to catch but difficult to see/ find)?
Myslef......
(1) Softshelled turtles! Females especially. Males can, at times be "slow" and dumb (I use that term "slow" relatively speaking). While in water, females are quite possibly the fastest reptile I have seen. Catching a nesting female is a slice of cake. Approaching one nevermind catching while in the water is a task fit only for the best! I had no luck
Female softshells make blue racers look like a slither legless salamander when compared.
(2) Has to be the hognose snake. You don't find these guys, they once in a rare while allow themselves to be seen. Hognose have to be one of the easiest herps to catch but finding them is the tough part.
