> Folks, I have a source for Hell Benders in the Berkshire Mountains of
> Western Massachusetts. Just outside of the town of Plainfield Mass.
It
> used to be a private parcel of land with three man made ponds that we
> would camp on. The owner passed away and now the land has been
> sold/donated (can't remember) to the Nature Conservatory (?) as a bird
> sanctuary. I haven't been there for over 8 years, but I used to see,
> catch and release hellbenders 6-7" in length in the little stream that
> fed the three man made ponds. They were a species of hellbender,
though
> I can't be certain of which one. Any questions feel free to ask.
