Wow.

Amazing! I especially like the black vultures and the "snake eyes" photos.

Agreement with his opinions.

Chiming in. Confirming. That's all I've got.

Congratulations. We're all happy for you!

That tortoise does not look at all impressed.

I read an interesting book about this sort of thing. Neanderthal by John Darnton. It's a fictional account of the discovery of a group of Neanderthals in northern Asia. In the story, they were the cause of the various Yeti sightings. They were highly intelligent and made a deliberate decision tens o...

I need a "like" button for Chrish's comment above. Spot on.

I'm seeing lots of speculation that he caught this lizards while filming "Wild Recon". I'd really like to hear some confirmation on that. If these were just captive bred animals from legal stock, then this violation is just a matter of stupidity and irresponsibility. If these were indeed wild caught...

Great start guys and gals.

I need a picture of a box turtle being lifted and carried across the road, but I'm too lazy to search my archives.

Caption:
"Look at meeeeeee! Weeeeeee! I'm flying. It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Super Box."

One of my favorite pre-crash FHF threads was by this same title and featured many humorous, and a few enlightening, imaginary conversations involving our favorite animals. I've often considered re-started that board line thread but never took the time. Maybe some of y'all can help me out. Share some...

I found this guy during a night hike on my property near Terlingua Creek.

Don't do it.

I'd recommend contacting any universities in the area that have decent biology or wildlife programs. This might provide an opportunity for a student or group of students. Ideally, they could attempt a relocation project with professional supervision and long term follow-up -especially if you or your...

LOL. My sons want one.

Yep. The victim was supposedly a shock television producer. If real, I'd bet money that it is all caught on tape and will become public as soon as they edit it, hype it, and find a buyer.

Sorry he has to go through this. I'm generally opposed to ordinances like this one. However, if the ordinance was in place before he moved in, he should have done his research and either worked out an exception or moved elsewhere. What you posted was the regulation. While it does not mention a "five...

Thanks for the update. Lots of crazy and unlikely hybrids have been produced in captivity. So ... I would not rule it out.

I'll remain skeptical, but curious, until more details and photos surface.

It certainly looks different, but what makes you think it is a cross? Are you able to disclose any details?

Spay and neuter the burms then release them in the "cat colonies".

Call the program:
Innocent

Indigent

Color me skeptical ... but amused.

Perhaps they could slow the putrification of the bait mice by partially dehydrating them.

I heard about this years ago. I thought they had already done it with limited success.

I just came across this job listing and thought it might be of interest to some of the members here. http://cdri.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ED-Job-Posting-2-2013.pdf "The Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute is seeking an Executive Director to oversee the administration and management of the CDR...

Actually Gerry, I think Dick summed up the entire thread rather succinctly. Perhaps it is time to admit that our "community" is hopelessly divided. Maybe we should stop wasting efforts on forming large umbrella groups that will undoubtedly be mired by division. Perhaps instead, we should encourage t...

Hubbs, was that rubber gator sighting on Waldo's Pond?

Sorry. Hope I didn't offend the OP.

Look what I found !!!

How closely related are Common Boas and Puerto Rican Boas? How likely are they to interbreed?

Did the discoloration persist? Or was it hare today goon tomorrow?

Ratsnakes aren't the only ones. I'm rooting for Global Warming. It is too damn cold here in SW Texas.

Chris Smith wrote:I suspect this discoloration is the result of injury

Looks like something has been hopping through the forest and bopping them on the head.

Chris Smith wrote:I'm told it is localized to a single wetland (so far).

This seems to support my violent bunny hypothesis.

I blame a misbehaving rabbit.

My sons spotted this 40' Waldo in the snow.

I do love that flag. I just regret that it has been co-opted by the Tea-Party. If you support the Tea-Party, let it fly. If not, be prepared that many may see it and assume you are a Tea-Partier.

Your kung-foo is strong Tamara. I still lean toward supporting this event (and plan to judge it on the merits after the fact). However, you make some very compelling arguments. It certainly did not help that some of the news reports announcing it went WAY overboard on cheering the killing of snakes....

I'm puzzled why so many herpers seem to be so preoccupied with pythons in Florida when there are so many real threats to our native herpetofauna to set our sights upon.l Call me a dreamer, but perhaps our calls for controlling popular invasives (like cats) and generally accepted invasives (like hog...

I have no problem with invasive snakes being killed. We should try and support responsible efforts to do so. After reviewing the FWCs info on this, I think it is a net positive. As for any comparisons between this and a rattlesnake round-up ... there is none. Round-up victims are native, abused for ...

I also hope they write intelligent and encompassing legislation/policy/regulations. It must be include use and Possession of chemicals, fumes etc., etc., as if they can't use gas, they may resort to Clorox or ammonia or something equally outrageous. Make sure the warden has a case if they posses th...

People are breaking an existing law. Do you a) enforce that law more effectively, or b) make ANOTHER law to be ignored? c) make a new law that permits you to violate the first IF you buy a special license. Who wants to bet that the final law includes some sort of exception for "licensed snake abate...
