Field Herp Forum

It's hard to say, but to me from a defensive behavior side it's not looping its tail enough to be a ringneck. But as Paul said I would go with Mr. Hoyer's knowledge on this one.

I wanted to say that it looked a dollar store lizard I bought my son, but I figured this must be an inside joke you had with someone. So I didn't want to ruin the fun. Definitely a toy though.

Thanks for the awesome video again Lou. I am in San Diego, and hope I can get enough time to hit the feild. In the beginning it looked like that was an actual board line and not trash.

Hey Jimi,

No, I am working at the Naval base and just decided to take the long way down, did not get to see much accept for these guys an a few Pac. Rattlesnakes in the foothills. I appreciate the help

I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this little fellow. I took these pictures at a rest stop off of the 139 in Lassen County on my way to San Diego. I am not well versed in Cal Herps yet and it looks like to me either some kind of fence or Side-blotched Lizard.

I Cannot understand why people do not use exluders. It is not a new technology, it's cheap(in this case free), and well researched and proven not to effect crab yeilds in pots.

I ran by this article this morning and it truly makes me mad. Once again the good is going to suffer because the bad. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.fox10phoenix.com/news/arizona-news/law-enforcement-working-to-capture-herpers#ampshare=http://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/arizona-news/law-enforcement-wo...

I stopped using it period, I just write everything down and then submit it when I get home.

I read this whole post and I do not quite understand what happened at the end. I was born in south and my family is part of few clubs that I find utterly disgusting. But, I have never heard the term cricket being racist. I have heard the term a cricket in a wood pile, meaning you have crickets poopi...

Awesome appreciate it .

Does anyone know where I can get an accurate catalog of herps of Southern California?

Awesome, good finds. I thought about going out this morning but, a psychology paper got in the way. I think I am going to try Olympia this weekend, but the weather reports vary day by day.

Thanks techno, you as well. I am going to be carrying a copy of the email from WDFW and a copy of the RCW as instructed by WDFW, but I'm goin to try to stay hands off as it seems to be the norm amongst Washington herpers. Good luck out there.

Brilliant!!!

I have been searching for Rubber Boas for two years around the Brinnon area, still no finds. It is supposed to be sunny Saturday so I'm heading out to the Kent Area to hit up some of the parks out that way. But I'm still very inexperienced in this part of the country so it's more like a stroll than ...

LoL, So awesome.

Awesome , kind of jealous actually.

Excellent finds, it makes me miss home, the Pacific Northwest is really out of my realm. Cant wait to get back to the good old south.

Beautiful Shovelnose

For wood carvings these are very impressive.

Beautiful snakes.

Hi Jeff,

What part of Louisiana are you from. My family is from South Plaquemines, but I grew up in Chalmette.

Wow that was quick. Mr.hoyer I was told that your the man to talk to about herping in the Pacific Northwest?

I went for a walk on the beach at low tide near restoration point Bainbridge, Washington. I snapped a few Pictures and thought I would share.

These are pictures of some birds I took pictures of here in Washington. I can use some Help on identifying them.

Steve,
I also cannot see your map.

Oh Ok, Just wondering.

It looks to me like Porthidium lansbergii , but I will need a close up of the head if you have one. Coloration and pattern are diverse with this species.

Hey Steve, I agree with you. Herpetology is my passion. It is one of a handful of topics that I am willing to be social about. But I also need to learn what is in my new backyard. I can go read a book sure, I love to do that, but nothing beats talking with a more experienced herpers from that region...

The guy you're on presently isnt even on the thread engaging or defending. Same as all the other guys. There is a note of compulsivity that is the dominating flavor of these themed posts of creative attacks on herp oriented individuals who have gotten some media attention. I thought maybe the Pytho...

Thank You.

Here are some recent pictures of a Juvenile Eastern Milk with snake fungal disease out of W.V.

One thing I have learned is, you Cannot please everyone.

Wstreps, I thought you would like this. That was sarcasm.

Well Chris, I guess no photos. I have been waiting to see them for quite some time.

I just read an article on this and it was said that no chameleon poses a direct threat to the Florida Ecosystem, and the only illegal thing about ranching is releasing them after caught. Once caught they can never be released. If anyone would like to read the article shoot me a pm and I will email i...

I know I am Late on this one but the was some awesome stuff. B/Z

Diamondback terrapins are the wild jewels of eastern coastlines, known for their beautifully patterned shells. They also play a key ecological role by eating snails that devastate salt-marsh grasses and leave behind barren mudflats. Sadly countless terrapins are unintentionally drowned in crab traps...

Kelly Mc, you are very welcome. I usually bring my copies down to Office Depot and get the printed on cheap paper in color and get them spiraled.

I would like to see some sort of demarcation of region, whether it be by state or area under the umbrella of FHF. I agree with Dave, I was a member of FHF when I lived in Louisiana when chapters were still in place. Life took me on a different route(Kids) and I just stopped posting. Now that I am i...

The Mojave Dessert Tortoise is beautiful. Do you have any close ups of the Patch-Nosed? Good Pics!

No Problem and thank you, you are my first reply on a thread.

Anyone here familiar with tidal zone fish from Japan?

Mind Blown.......

Where is this again. Definitely on the bucket list, Awesome picks.

Found this article to be interesting.

TURTLES OF THE WORLD Annotated Checklist and Atlas of Taxonomy, Synonymy, Distribution, and Conservation Status (8th Ed.), this was sent to me in the last edition of Herpdigest. Just thought I would share it. It is 213 MB with 296 pages so it will take a while to upload. But, if you like turtles it ...

That does not look fungal it most likely is lesions that will clear up. I am not an expert, so if questionable contact DNR and show them the pictures.
