Re: Favorite Finds and/or Pictures of 2015
I'll play! Last year was a particularly speciose year for me, so picking my favorite finds will be difficult. I also managed a few lifers that had long been glaring holes in my life-list. I saw a ton of Speckled Rattlesnakes, this one might be my favorite capture though. https://farm8.staticflickr.c...

My first herp of 2016 was a slightly unexpected one. As we drove along a road well known for the dramatically more prevalent Baja Treefr...

Hello all, Big thanks to my friend and tour guide Nick for the incredibly fun day in the field. Sure the weather was lousy, but animals were found, and good times were had. I even managed a couple lifers. Destin Florida seems to be a fairly difficult place to herp, much of the areas that look suitab...
