Non-bird; herp question



Hi Carolinabirders,

Sorry for the tangent, but I need to call on the general natural history 
knowledge of the group. We, the Duke Zoology graduate students, 
periodically host top biologists from across the country in our 
"Superspeaker" program. We also take these biologists on field trips to 
check out the local diversity of organisms, generally the organisms on 
which those biologists do research.

So our latest superspeaker does research on the ecology and evolution of 
lizards. We are trying to decide where to go for his field trip. In what 
part of North Carolina - or South Carolina, if it's within a 3-4 hour 
drive of Durham - can we find the greatest diversity of either lizard 
species or reptile and amphibian species? At the moment, our best idea is 
to look for salamanders along the Blue Ridge somewhere, but if you've got 
a good idea, please share it!

Thanks in advance,

Josh
