2007 Field Herping

[Ameivaboy]

the place i went is a very small state park called china camp about 20 minutes north of san francisco (it's my fav herping spot) I have no idea what species of centipede it is (im not big on entomology but ill take a pic of a cool bug when i come across one) and you like my manicure???




suck though, when my gf and i got home i had found that our cats had attacked the snake rack and knocked down tyhe new big gravid garters tub down and my python regius' tub down too, luckily both were unharmed just a bit cold and wet from the water dishes being spilled but otherwise ok

after that i took a nap, and woke up to my gf screaming happily because we have a new hatchling




been a long day (but a good one)

Nice finds Charles. The second picture, showing the habitat is good. I always like to see where they live.

I'd like to see them Charles, if you can get them out of your camera!

Nice photos Charles. Here's a Mole Kingsnake I removed from the road and relocated in the woods here at the house.



My last find was a young Black Racer, no time to get a picture of that one. He was in too much of a hurry.

Charles,
It looks like an awesome hour of herping! Who would have thougt to look for a snake 8' up in a tree? Did you see it enter?

Sid,
I bet there aren't any self-respecting mice within a mile of your place with all those snakes lurking in your woods . Thanks for sharing your pictures,

Rick,
You are correct. I rarely see wild rodent of any kind here. That wasn't true 35 years age though. They were everywhere. Someone you now know relocated tons of Black Rat Sankes and King Snakes into our community .

Here's a juvinile Black Rat- Elaphe obsoleta
