A few things from last couple of weeks

We hit the desert sunday and got pretty skunked ( only side blotches and western Whiptails ) So we hit Campo on the way back and ended up finding a couple of california whipsnakes

Nice shots! I think its interesting how much the pattern on that lizard resembles Lygodactylus camoflage in Madagascar.

Last summer a were on a holiday to the west of the USA. When I was in Zion NP I saw this snake eating a mouse :O :shock:

No, after a few minutes to many people came looking what was happening. The snake got a way with the mouse still in his mouth:

That's nothing. Pythons regularly eat prey that is twice as big as the fattest part of their bodies. Check this out (one of mine):

Now *that's* a meal. :wink:
