My employer is sending me on "an extended business trip" to a location "far, far away" for the next year...was very unexpected with a short suspense (have to be there in June) and now I'm scrambling to get all the loose ends tied up here on the home front.
I plan on packing my hooks, tongs, etc. and coordinating with like-minded folks at the destination so maybe I'll be able to post some exotic-locale pics (if nothing else, I hope to post pics from stateside herping that I haven't previously had the time to do).

The place I'm going, I've been before a couple of times, and I think I have some Cyrtopodion scabrum pics from there--which is the only herp I noticed at the time. Since I'll be there for longer, and I've heard some stories of other herps found there, I'm going to be more thorough this time.

Meh, this is my fifth such excursion (but the longest), third to this particular locale, and it doesn't sound like I'll be going "downrange" much, if at all. There are worse places to be. But I can't let my guard down regardless.

I've been to seven of the listed locations, and where I found them (and where I'm going) isn't listed.scott s wrote:Cyrtopodion scabrum
