I had my first child (Going to do my best to add another herper to the list) and made trips to Texas and the Ozarks. Season ...

He is the main reason I got back into herping up here in WI. He showed me my first Hognose, a snake that had eluded me for 16 years, and I even got to do a trip to snake road with him. I'm going to miss observing the hognose nesting with him. Thanks for getting me motivated again! R.I.P
