Field Herp Forum

Hi all, this is my first post. I’m new to herping and have gone on trips with people from my college but not found locations to herp near me.

I was hoping to find some resources for getting started in Orange County! Finding some gopher or king snakes would be awesome. Right now I’m probably going to go to Chino Hills and see if I can find anything there, and if anyone has any tips it would be greatly appreciated
