discovered this forum last year and figured its about time I posted some
pics of my own. I've been into herps(especially reptiles) since my childhood
and some recent trips have re-sparked my passion! I don't keep herps in captivity,
but like everyone else on here I love encountering them out in the field.
here's a few of my favorite pictures from 2 different weekends in the mojave last summer.
all pictures taken with a canon powershot.
some lizards to start...
desert iguana
zebra-tail hanging out under a creosete bush
big chuckwalla, any guesses on what happened to his tail?
another chuck
male great basin collared
female found nearby
some snakes...
walking snakes at night sure gets the blood flowing
speckled rattlesnake
rosy boa
mojave sundown
yours truly, classic photo op
back home, found this alligator lizard crawling around,
really like the pattern on him
thanks for lookin!

Welcome. Nice pictures, keep up the good work.
Re: New guy introduction and pics from the mojave!
Beautiful animals and photos, all of them really nice..
The Chuckwalla's tail looks like it was mutilated/partially gloved in a predator mishap but its on the mend. Shedding consecutively after injury in a pieced, accentuated pattern is normal, often starting at the injured site.
