The North Carolina Herpetological Society Meeting - May 2002

In May of 2002, the Davidson Herpetology Lab hosted the Annual Meeting of the North Carolina Herpetological Society. The first day consisted of presentations, the annual business meeting, and an auction (ask JD about his new Beast Master-II t-shirt). The second day, the group took a field trip to the Mountain Island State Educational Forest for a day of herping. View the species list here. The following talks were presented:
