Field Herp Forum

I took care of the other post. Thanks for letting me know. On a side note, FHF is looking at some things on the tech side to make things easier. News on that to come soon.

Re: the snake. Looks to me like a young northern water snake.

Ditto Kfen….thanks for sharing a fun report to read with some great finds! Looking forward to more.

I’m not very good at….words. Especially with things like the passing of a great friend. I’ll just say Rick was a wonderful human being and a dear friend. A guy you could always count on, no matter what. His herpetological knowledge taught me something every time we chatted. The field herping trips w...

I always look forward to this post as it offers a glimpse into Kent’s passion for herping. FHF is an archive from a different social media era. Kent and others like the author of the now famous “‘Twas the night before herping” display how deep the roots of field herping run within us all. Kent is a ...

This is the definition of an EPIC post. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing future trips.

They say MLB playoffs are the “fall classic”. Meh, I say Snake Road is a far superior fall classic! I can’t visit S IL often enough, thanks for the excellent post.

Scott

Porter….

The “hybrid gopher-king” spot is known by a lot of people. That spot has been herped heavily for over 40 years, probably longer. Not sure why anyone would say it’s a secret, it’s definitely not. That explains why you’re seeing herping activity.

Oh have those individuals been tail-clipped and analyzed already? I was under the impression that longnose Were up for consideration to be put on a threatened list for Kansas at one time… maybe it was just some thing I miss read. Are you saying that there are no longnose upstream from where you fou...

Bro….very nice. Way to light up the ol’ FHF!

Scott

Good stuff. I’m sending you an email regarding publishing.

Thanks,
Scott

Fantastic! Ordering a copy for sure. I’ll tweet this out via @herpnation

Thanks for letting us know.

Scott

I think most of us have “that place” that made us a herper. For me it was the hills and river banks along the Neosho River in southeastern Kansas. I was only there sporadically as a kid, visiting my grandparents in the summer months, but it cemented my interest in seeing herps in the wild, or what w...

Masticophis are well documented snake eaters.

Stellar, as always.

Awesome. Good to see you.

Finding Helena (not as DORs, anyway), in my experience, is all about private property. Get that access...boom.

Scott

Thanks for the traumatic reminder.

Great update. I’d love to work on the contia and lateralis in Marin with you. Shoot me an email. I’m close by.

Scott

Staying home (not panning or zooming) on the wide shot when it crossed the road was fantastic. So many would have zoomed in, but you didn’t and allowed the home run! Well done. Also, very creative with the celebratory beer storyline. Again, well done! The M Toxins shirt hurt the piece though (inside...

Indeed. Glad to see this bumped again. If I fail to do so, please do it every year.

RIP KVS!

I’d suggest this is more of an achievement than finding a NorCal zonata, but that’s just me. Well done! The music bed was entertaining, felt like Michael Myers was going to show up and start slaying. LOL Fun stuff. Look forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing.

Scott

EPiC post, thanks for sharing! I’m putting one of the shots up on the FHF Instagram account.....@fieldherpforum, if you’d like to follow.

Awesome post, thanks again for sharing.

Scott

Good job. You should be quite proud!

Outstanding!

....and that is a spectacular “test”!

Another great one. You're on to something.....clearly you understand producing, shooting and editing. Keep it up!

Scott

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more.

Scott

A classic. Good call, Bryan.

RIP Kent

Thanks
Scott

You can place them inline where the old photos are now.

You will see an "upload attachment" option now, below the text box.
You can place the images at the bottom of the text, or inline with the text. Mess around with it....using "Preview"....until it works out.

Thanks,
Scott

Photobucket isn't having it. A lot of hosts are blocking usage on forums, etc. You can attach ALL of your images directly here on FHF. See the attachment option.

On this episode of Cutting Edge Herp Radio, Vin Speaks to long time friend Quetzal Dwyer of Parque Reptiliandia in Costa Rica. Quetzal has a state of the art Zoo in the jungles of Costa Rica and is very well known for his unique reptile husbandry techniques, keeping reptiles outdoors in naturalistic...

Use the attachment option and you can host those two images here on FHF, rather than a link.

Congrats on the hoggie! Hognose eggs (easterns) were the first eggs I ever hatched, from a wild caught female. Not only that, the babies were solid black!

Scott

I just had the "what the H..." moment. I read the replies in this thread. I agree with Chris McMartin. As NAFHA was never really what could be considered a true "club" i.e., dues, meetings, etc. (at least in AZ) calling it a chapter is a bit of a misnomer. Subgroup or subforum w...

You can now attach photos to posts on FHF! No more hassles with photo hosts who block usage. Problem solved! Now you can host them here on FHF. Parameters are 3MB file size max, 800px wide max, and jpg or png file types. Please only use for FHF posting. Look for the attachment option when you post o...

Attachment settings for the invert forum have been adjusted. Thanks for pointing that out.

Scott

Looks great. You can also use this forum to host photos for FHF. See the attachment option when creating or replying to a post. Parameters are files under 3MB, jpg or png and 800px wide. Looking forward to your next post!

Scott

I found three like this one in that area. I think one of them is pictured in Hubb's book. I need to find my old Canon Powershot (60, I think?) and check out the cards. I have an old Fuji that is loaded with a bunch of stuff as well. Anyway, some cool looking kings in a fairly small area. Screen Shot...

Uploading is now available. I'll make a bigger announcement later. SPECS: File types: jpg or png File size: 3MB max. Width: 800px max. Process: Size your image to 800px wide, keeping all the images in a fluid width for viewing. Handle all of your editing needed prior to uploading to FHF. Upload all ...

This is being addressed. No more worries about outside photo hosting to post on FHF. Announcement coming shorty.

Thanks,
Scott

Hmm. I'll look into a solution. This is now becoming common, as companies want to monetize as much as they can. Eliminating coding to sites like this is one way to do it.....as it forces the user to ONLY view their hosting service. They want you to ONLY view their platform. I'll ask about getting ho...

Great feedback, everyone. Thanks for your input. Here is where I am with regional forums.....I'll do it if they are a direct part of FHF. While I strongly believe in a one-forum approach, which is the origin of FHF (for those who remember our first couple of years). Any ideas to grow field herping, ...

Hello. After a few years of contemplating this decision, I have decided to merge the NAFHA chapter forum toics into The Forum. Here's why. FHF was created with a "global community" approach.....way back in 2004. The world all posted under one roof, by design. This was embraced by the world...

Chris By law in Texas, you can't pick up, touch, or "encourage" an animal off the roadway. That being said, I've taken two Texas Parks and Wildlife employees road cruising and they both agreed that's crazy. VERY important, thanks for adding that Bill! This topic is 100% about safety in my...

Vote to sequence the genome of the sexually-dimorphic Temple PitViper Hello Fellow Herpers!

This is a special place due to all of the users who've participated over the years. Rest assured that FHF will continue! If anyone ever needs questions answered about the FHF forums, shoot me a message or email any time. [email protected]

The literal translation is that if you pick something up and put it in a container, it is a captive animal. For that matter, in your hand is "possession", meaning if you touch it you should have any necessary permits or licenses. I live in CA. We actually have VERY good herp regs here, in ...

I didn't know you were here in the area, Scott. I live about 10 miles from there. This is my last year herping for awhile. I'm actually going in for my first appointment for cortisone shots next week. I've been injured since January. I have a battle coming up that is gonna require all of my focus. ...

You're welcome. I am getting all of the back issues of Herp Nation Magazine digitized. So far #20, #19, and #18 are on www.HerpNation.com

This is Reason #6,758,974 why I love the this forum! AWESOME find, thanks for sharing. I've put it on the Herp Nation facebook page. Thanks again for sharing such a cool observation.

Could you email me? I have something to discuss with you. [email protected]
