Please note that while field herping is a recreational hobby, there are safety factors which must be considered to prevent injury or loss of life. Considerations such as allergies to plants, present life forms (spiders, leeches, alligators, mosquitoes, snakes, etc) and well as the potential for nature dangers: water being deeper than appears, weeds at the bottom of ponds and lakes which can tie up feet/legs and make swimming difficult, rock/mud slides, holes underwater or on land, etc. There is also the human complication. There are some pretty whacked out people out there, folks, so when hitting some of these secluded spots, you never know what kinda human freak might be lurking out there.

There are a lot of potential hazards while field herping and it's always best to field herp with a buddy, especially if you are hitting some new, unfamiliar areas.
