The Basics So what should you have when you're ready to embark on your very first Herping adventure? You don't necessarily HAVE to carry anything when you go herping, but here are a few items that I believe are a great starting point:
- A First Aid Kit
- A Pair of Boots
- Knowledge of Venomous Species
Supplemental Gear In addition to the list above, the following items can be fun and helpful additions to your herping kit. Don't let this list restrict you...the possibilities are endless. Get creative. Have fun. Fill your kit with whatever works for you!
- A Field Guide
- A Snake Hook
- A Camera
- A Backpack
- A Dipping Net
