Great stuff Danny! You were obviously busy this year. It's great to see the Anniella still hanging on in coastal SoCal, and of course I loved all the boas, plus the AZ bonus shots (but WHO is that crazy tatted guy you were with ?!?)

Love all the kings and boas! Great post! It seems like kingsnakes in SoCal are as abuhdant as Coast garters in NorCal.

Sweet post Dan. Nice variety of herps from CA and AZ.

That rosy climbing through the bushes was a trip, trying to be like his long lost arboreal boa brothers in the jungles lol!

Amazing post. I love how you integrated habitat shots into your report. Furthermore, it is amazing how many herps seem to be found in urban areas down in Southern California.

I am making a trip to head down there in Spring- I really need to see a glossy and Rhino! Maybe I'll run into you in the field.
