That about sums up the pictures I have right now, at least in a few of the folders that I already have online. Sadly though, I won't be able to steal away for a night of herping from 3pm to 6 am and then going to classes the next day, anymore. Up in the mountains, I'll be playing with the plethora of salamanders and that shy little bog turtle, but after this summer, I am hoping to plan an out west road cruising trip with the snake crew. I seriously bought both my cars with snake hunting as the first motive, and have bumped up the lighting and the handling for road cruising at night. But there are just too many dang hobbies!

AND MUSKING! jEEEZ zowie can they stink up a car! Most Nerodia have anti-coagulants in their saliva, making you bleed quite profusely. The bite isn't bad at all unless you get a large one, or a particular specimen that likes to saw back and forth (they do that).
Here is a girl after her first minor bite.

Yes, I'm a herpetologist in Maryland. I'm currently working with the M.A.R.A. (Md amphibian and reptile atlas) but I usually work for stipend projects while working on my master's.

Tip to get Joe posting like a madman
1. Post pictures of snake. Ask for more pictures
2. Joe has about 1020324023048729874392130947213094721309874321 billion pictures of snakes online at thy finger tip
3. add a little "Holy crud I need a reason to go back and look at these, plus most is on photo bucket and you can select and wallpaper a post"
and you get:
page 4.

Alright, next snake. I'm not gonna say what it is. I'll be impressed with whoever gets it first. Joe, no helping.
