Re: African tortoise ? naww that's a wood turtle...
I was happy to read this one though, because the people that found a snake in their yard actually didn't kill it. its nice to read every once and a while. Though I had to laugh at the line about it must be a male snake because it was muscular. only boy snakes have muscles. hehe http://www.frederickn...

With Spring quickly approaching, I figured I'd give a recap of the year so far, considering all the photos to come. Matt and I have been pretty busy, starting the year off with some big changes but, there's always time for herping... enjoy! Started off the year with some usual suspects in January......
