Made you look. Hopefully she wont be wrangling hots anytime soon - but maybe some frogs or sallies...

Re: Discussion Q: how young is too young to freehandle hots?
Best post ever.
Big congrats.
She's beautiful. Trust me, you can't say that about all new borns.
(Seriously, on the question, my son, out of necessity, got to wrangle a copperhead with a hook out of our garage and into an empty full sized garbage can at age 10. (I was out of the country. Scared the fire out of me, but I was quite proud.))
Chava will be out there with us in no time.

Sounds great - I've got a nice stroller-friendly walking trail with Timbers and copperheads here in western NC. Night walking with strollers???
Re: Discussion Q: how young is too young to freehandle hots?
Congratulations! ...and to think I've been avoiding this thread: You got me, too. Night herping with strollers... I hope you all would take pictures of that!

I like it! I'd love to 'stroller' up a timber- we've already backpacked some, so let's change the method!Josh Holbrook wrote:Sounds great - I've got a nice stroller-friendly walking trail with Timbers and copperheads here in western NC. Night walking with strollers???
Definitely, Jim. I think that would make for some great images!JAMAUGHN wrote:Night herping with strollers... I hope you all would take pictures of that!JimM

Just don't let her do this. You know, salmonella or something like that. http://www.snakesonstuff.com/images/mikesnak.jpg
