Colorado Herpin

Before anybody gets excited about seeing some Colorado Crotalus or any of the other cool stuff we can boast, let me just say I didn't really find anything cool this summer. I only got out 3 times for a total of maybe 8-10 hrs :cry:
What can I say - I've got a family now and I don't have any time to myself...

Field herpin is my favorite thing to do though.

Here are some things I found while I had my camera with me:

Painted? Slider?

My wifes little brothers love to come along!

Finally my favorite - a beautiful sub-adult bull snake. He was fiesty!

In addition I found a few green racers and race-runner lizards on a day when I didn't have my camera.

Thanks for looking!

Awesome shots, thanks for sharing. I didn't get much herping time this year, but hopefully next year will be better, especially if I take a different job where I'll have weekends off :D

Hey thanks, Aaron. I was just checkin out your "field herpin" pics :)

I really like those "chewies" you have and I love that hold back male gargoyle you've got. Great geckos!

- Yeah its hard to find time to get out herpin... It seems like the summer came and went before I knew it!

take it easy, and thanks for looking.

I've found more numbers of snakes in Colorado than any other state. Granted, they were mostly bulls and garters, but that's cool. Thanks for sharing, Joe.

yep, we've got plenty of garters and bulls out here. I've only caught 1 milk snake and a few prairie rattlers since i've lived here.

Its just nice to get outdoors!
