Field Herp Forum

Thanks a million to everyone for your replies. Do I really need special snake gaiters? I've never seen them, are they stiff and limit your flexibility? Are they heavy?

Hi. I posted this same message in one of the other general forum areas, and another member suggested that I re-post it in this regional section: My name is Matt. I live north of Seattle, WA. I'm an amateur nature photographer (hobby for now, pro in the future). I joined this forum because, as I expa...

Thank you, Jonathan, I will repost as you suggest. Thanks for the warm welcome!
