Re: Snakes in the Chiricahua mountains
One more thing. When I went we were based in the Southwestern Research Station and we hiked and cruised down into NM and also very close to the border, and we didn't have any problems. To be safe, I would avoid night hiking or camping nearer to the border, but I have friends that do it and besides t...

Re: Snakes in the Chiricahua mountains
Not sure what the other guys will say but I was in the Chiricahuas in September a couple years ago following a wet spell and the roads were literally filled with amphibians. We must have seen thousands of toads on the road, it was almost impossible not to hit them at some points. We saw atrox and mo...

I see. Sorry about that, I guess you learn something new everyday! Now that I think about it that makes a lot more sense. I'll definitely check out the double element diopters too. Thanks for the tips and clarification!

Hi Bill. Thanks for that long and detailed response, that was very helpful. I do a mixture of insitu and slightly posed shots of herps that I have moved off the road, so ideally something within arm's distance would be ideal.

Re: Massive sea turtle deaths in Florida following fireworks
What a disaster. Seems a little typical of America to do something very ill-planned like this, and if anyone with knowledge of the turtles was present in planning, this shouldn't have happened. I saw a thing on a man who was caught with over a hundred eggs on Jupiter Island, not sure if he was on th...

Hi all. I was just curious, do most of you have a mid range zoom lens, something from 24-70 or 24-105 that you use additionally or in place of a macro lenses?

I was out a few days ago in Riverside county and stumbled upon this beautiful baby helleri. It was really small (~8-9 inches) and had no rattles at all, which led me to believe it is a YOY, but it seems like it is way to early for that. Is it just a late birth from last year that hasn't grown much? ...
