I used a field guide, and the national list, not a binder. I won third place at state.

Hey! So I'm new to this whole forum thing, but I just wanted to say that the materials you can bring for Herpetology changed from last year. I didn't realize it until I read the materials list, so for anyone who also hasn't read through the paper yet, you can't bring a book anymore like last year. All information has to be in a three ring binder that can be up to two inches thick.

Haha I'm surprised you got third with just a field guide—in my state you would've gotten somewhere around 20th with just a field guide :(

Where'd you get a field guide that covered all the specimens anyway?

Since we aren't required to identify down to the species, I suggest you include information on both because they make up the family, which is what you do need to identify.
