We made a 2 1/2 day trip out to river road and black gap July 26-28 and had a pretty good trip. We caught 25 snakes and a ton of lizards.

I didn't realize i hadn't taken any pictures of the gopher snakes or the different lizards we caught. All in all not a bad trip. Hope you enjoy the pics. Chris

Hey Scott,
Nathan didn't make this trip. Eric from the pet store went on this one with me. Nathan and i are talking about another trip out there though in late Sept or early Oct. How are things in Nacogdoches?? I heard someone got lost wading?! :)

I wish i could but we have a busy week coming up. I don't think my id's are wrong but i could be mistaken the first pic (western diamondback has a better diamond pattern and the solid coon tail where as the second ( mojave) has more of an oval shaped pattern and a broken banded patterned tail. Maybe im thinking backwards. :)

I wish i could still be there! My company did the new apartments for Sul Ross University in Alpine and they sent me there in the dead of winter for almost a month. That was a horrible tease.

Looks like I checked back too late. Yeah, wading around in water up to your neck with no clue of where you are is not much fun. Fortunately we ended up just wandering a few miles down the road from where we parked and not further in the Angelina river bottoms.

Are you guys gonna miss Andrew down there?

Later, Scott

Ahhh... Nathan you tease me so. I'm working the ETHS show Sunday the 9th at Erics tables. Hey Scott i give you a couple of weeks and you'll be begging us to take him back. :) Having access to the forest gives u plenty of places to hide the body. lol

:( this annoys me, you guys can go to amazing places for wildlife in your own state, but what has scotland got? adders, grass snakes and the odd common lizard. Not to common seeing as ive never seen one. The only wild lizard ive found was some gecko in france, i would say 2 cm long, lovely critter. Lol ive rambled a bit all i meant to say was nice pics :)
