From a Californian, temporarily (31 years) exiled to Louisiana: words cannot describe. Friends of mine and I got some great photos, including what we called "habitat shots". like your Kern Canyon Slender with the mountainous backdrop. All were taken with slide film, using a 28 mm polarize...

I mean, I don’t “like”’those girls… I just “like” those girls. I just mean… I don’t hate those girls.
Jeez, Louise, Papa Chino… monkey up done lubbed La Chongo, but not my monkey Capeesh? ?

I’m so done with these goddamn robots

Laid** not lay

Past tense, as a passed tents…. What has scents, has sense enough to save cents up, till the stench ends

Porter

And Rest assured…. ☝️ it was the karma police that lay the law down upon Richard Porter. Well deserved And rightly so. Also, Chad Lane’s a pretty nice guy. And so is that other prick. And I FN love Brian Hubbs. He left a voicemail in my cell phone back around 2014-ish (?) that I can’t go into the de...

Porter

Find a mate** not maid lol I can’t imagine all the confusion that made…

goodnight

Porter

I had a purpose. And that purpose has been fulfilled, to the best of my knowledge. I’ll try to teleport a video series of further explorations every now and then. But if I don’t find old ass Rex a maid soon, he may destroy all of Tokyo.

Porter

Oh, believe me I definitely feel alienated… 👽 :lol: There’s plenty of viewers. And it’s all the same people who used to post on here for years before I ever heard of the place. There’s a select few that won’t post here because they don’t want me to leave comments on their post. I am the worst person...

Porter

Please stop collecting mountain kingsnakes! There are enough in captivity to keep them circulating for the end of eternity. Please leave the wild ones in the wild.

Thank you

Porter

And there was no goddamn way I was going back to look for one of damn those things. One and done

Porter

Also, I should mention… we weren’t gonna find them out in Kingssnake that day unless I did what I did. Way too effing dry

Porter

Me… I can’t stop looking for a banded California kingsnake, yellow dorsal stripe, with red valley gartersnake blotches down the side

We all have our vices…

Porter

Also, I just have to write this to the lurker poacher-collector types out there…. Don’t go breaking apart logs looking for mountain kingsnakes. Here’s what happens…. Those logs are where they lay their eggs.. you should think of the logs as a nursery. It’s because they retain the moisture in the mid...

Porter

Coast mountain zonata… not Sierra zonata**

Porter

Scott, first California kingsnake I ever found as a kid was from peeling back the under-hanging bark of an old dead tree that had been struck by lightning. Going after a bluebelly that ran in there, I think. I ended up finding my first mountain king, by thinking of that childhood Cal king lifer, and...

Porter

I also have an additional request…. In case people don’t know, Chad puts in serious work for his photography. I thought I was tough, until I went in herping with Chad lol He’s has calves like Popeye and can scale a mountain like a Billygoat. One time he took me out to one of Brian Hubbs’s old spots ...

Well, it's taking forever for HD and 4k quality to process and I'm getting tired... So, I'm just gonna post it now Here is the final installment of the full moon series. As I mentioned before with the owls, because of all the extra snow in the Sierras, the yearly animal patterns were thrown off and ...

Porter

I don't agree with the composition on some of these 🤨 (as you know)... some are off balance and it bugs me Lol But, all of them have an emotional quality and beauty that is all your own. Great stuff and always a treat to see :thumb: I do have to say... I think those ensatina getting fresh are probab...

Porter

After I got home, my pet dino Rex got pretty ornery over the calculated go-with-the-flow success of my full moon adventure. So, I promised to take him along for the next enlighting experience. I decided to double down and try our luck at a different locale. Although it seemed to be the thoughts of c...

Porter

Question for the California kingsnake people... I have not read Brian's book, however I vaguely remember a convo I had with him about California speckled kingsnake morphs of Yolo county. I don't remember exactly what was said...but I want to say I remember Hubbs telling me that kingsnakes color fade...

Let me start by saying, careful planning went into making this video session look like it takes place this upcoming weekend. But the truth of the matter is…. You’re never gonna know when I filmed it 🤨👉 The great Chad Lane once said, “Richard, you gotta be careful of poachers if you’re gonna post you...

Good job on the photography

What he said

Porter

I had a few old clips hanging around in my phone, that weren’t enough to make a complete video. I added those to some more recent clips, that were video worthy & worth sharing. At this point, they’re all old clips though. Lol

Enjoy

In my country (336 observations in 15 years, 2008-2022), when I graph snakes per mile of survey route by hour of day, racers most commonly observed between 1800 and 2000 hours. Wow! I’m amazed. I seen a hellava lot of racers and I can’t think of a single “active” afternoon sighting, ever. In the no...

Ok, so.... As I add new material, I'm going to occasionally intergrade the old stuff into the mix. Some of you might remember this cleverly titled classic: S nakes T hat O verrun P eople - (People that Runover Snake). If you missed it the first time around, now's your chance to consume this intense ...

Carlton, I’m posting this here because it doesn’t look like you’re gonna login and see it:

Talk about a Double Entendre... 1 hour running time :sleep: If you make it through the 1st quarter, you're libel to say to yourself... "this VIDEO is for the birds." 😤 But if you make as far as the feathery friend Battle Royal, you'll be saying... "Ahhhh, I see. This video is FOR the ...

Hey! I thought I told you to go play with your Legos 🤨👉 like I said already, this is my post now to make up for you acting intelligent, but only repeating things you read that somebody else figured out on their own 😤 so just hush it already 🤫 I watched the new video and that music is classic 😂😂 also...

And just for the record I WAS NOT going to post on this post. I was even going to tell you, "go ahead and just mak another post. I deleted mine. I wont ruin your new one" You can even check the time stamps now that scott took away editing capabilities (probably at your request lol). Then a...

The original thread was rudely derailed by unrelated trolling and my being in a bad headspace falling into the foolishness of continuing it...so going to try once to restart and maintain what it was supposed to be about.... .

Porter

Also… One more thing (because I can’t go back and edit the first message and add this to it lol). That tiger salamander is only one of probably an entire family that lives underneath the foundation of your house. and I’m sure that hole leads him right back down to his family. Do you wanna know how I...

Porter

A word of advice... That tiger salamander knows, by instinct, where the best place is for him to be. In the hole he dug, not the haystack you want to force him to live under. So leave that damn thing alone and go play with your legos! 😠👉 Lesson: Don't force slamanders or people to do what you want t...

This is my last contribution to this forum. I leave the future in the hands of the haters . take care

No worries… I didn’t read any of your responses anyways

Mostly NKF. Lou Boyer, and a couple other people who ...

Porter

Troll...? :lol: The whole reason we are having this argument is because YOU tried to "derail" my observation of the Massachusetts timber rattler. So, instead of letting you ruin it, I thought I would teach you a lesson of conduct and make you hate talk on your own post 8-) Newsflash... Im ...

Soooooooo, where is that link of the ongoing video post format you were talking about that everyone has done before me…?

I guess it’s true what they say

Dude…. No wonder you’re so confused and lost. I’m talking about reptiles (snakes, mostly) and you’re thinking humans and monkeys

And with all the amazing things that reptiles and amphibians can do, like regrow lost limbs, regenerate their tails, bury themselves underneath the desert ground in a cocoon of their own slime until the rains come, ect… you really think the absorption of DNA through ground water and creation of hybr...
