Re: Herps in their Habitat Pics
Nice post! I love habitat shots! It can help put a whole story around one animal and help you visualize what it would be like to find that lifer someday. Good job on the chucks, those guys can be tough to get to look natural .

CHad: You take Great pictures as usual! What elevation is that Mountain Garter at the lake located above the timberline?
Fundad:
Monklet: lol yes ALL the pictures are of animals “as found”…. NOT!!!!!! You help to find one of those silly Mtn Kings. Most of the pictures are in situ, but the Chuck, Mountain Kings, Great Basin Rattler are not.
As for the boa, it was recently flipped beneath the tin shown to the left that I promptly placed back over the snake after taking that picture. BTW, who ever separated those tins and scattered them around the field really F’up their habitat and you did not make it better to find boas. I suggest you build up that tin pill again... where is that Duh face smile thingy... well thes will have to do.....
Lystrophis: Yes, that Spiny-tailed was situated at the top of one of those Maya pyramids just beyond Cancun. That is a natural shot.
Dezertwerx: Interesting stuff, thanks for adding to the post and making it better!

Re: Herps in their Habitat Pics
Beautiful shots, everyone, I wish we (Nicholas and I) had more shots like that.
Here are just a few of ours (well, actually his) that come even close to showing some real habitat:
But even these are mostly not in situ.

Re: Herps in their Habitat Pics
Great stuff everyone! Herp-in-habitat shots are probably my favorite kind of photography, I really need to practice some more. Here's some stuff I managed to dig up from the past few years:

Re: Herps in their Habitat Pics
That's a baby Burmese Python I found here in Marin County a few weeks ago.
I actually took that last July in central Queensland... It was the middle of winter so unfortunately I didn't see any wild pythons of my my own, that little Spotted was actually a captive animal belonging to the place where I was volunteering. They were native to the area though! Not too many snakes out that time of year, the only other one was a six foot Eastern Brown Snake I nearly stepped on (didn't get any good photos of that though).
