Herping recommendations for Houston

Hey everyone! About to take a random last minute trip to Houston, anyone can recommend some decent locals for winter herps? Ideally flipping for snakes but open to anything really. Leaving tomorrow, any advice much appreciated!

We took a last minute family vacation to Vietnam and I managed to get out around the Hotel at night and ended up finding some cool snakes!



P.S. Anyone know how to embed the video in these posts?

Re: Rare Mountain Snakes in Hong Kong

What are the temps up there in the coldest and hottest times of year? These guys tend to go for higher elevation, anywhere between 200 to 900m, at least in HK. Within that elevation I'd say you can average 10-15c at night in winter and +/- 25-28 at night in summer. Can go more extreme of course but...

Re: Rare Mountain Snakes in Hong Kong

Is the Red Mountain racer alive? It looks kind of funny... Yup, alive and well thankfully. Pretty chilled out temperament for the most part but once he decided to start moving there was no keeping him still for shots. Actually the most pristine Red I've ever come across, not a mark on him and brigh...

Re: Rare Mountain Snakes in Hong Kong

WOW, amazing snakes and pictures. I need to make it to HK soon! I was hoping to make it this fall, but looks like most my time will be in Fujian Province again. Thanks Dan! We work hard to try and present our herps in a good light so folks can ID them better. HK is a lot of fun for herping for sure...

Rare Mountain Snakes in Hong Kong

The herping gets a bit slow over the winter in Hong Kong, luckily there are a number of mountain species that are active in the cold. The problem is they are darn hard to find but fortunately our persistence has paid off over the last month. Attaching photos here of the very rare and very cool Ovoph...

Banded Krait in Hong Kong

I included some shots of a Burmese found last week in my last post. Within two days I got lucky and came across this Banded Krait, Bungarus fasciatus on a conduit walk. A very cool snake and a lifer for me. These snakes are generally pretty docile and slow moving but can be quite spastic in their mo...

I am an avid herper in Hong Kong and just set up a website (http://www.hongkongsnakeid.com) with a buddy here dedicated to identifying all the snake species in Hong Kong. 35 species so far and lots of great herping along the way as you can imagine. Really happy ...
