Thought I better start a field catalog post again for this year. My wife and I have been making a good effort at getting out the most we can and photographing when we go. I've been laid back so far this season though, only really pushing great photographs when it comes to certain species that interest me. Primarily helping her this year get going on her own photography and handling capabilities. We are about to make a huge herping trip out to West Texas to try and photograph the 6 species of Rattlesnakes found in Brewster county, as well as the specialties like Subbocs, and Alterna.
So here's the running species list so far, for 2015:
Western Cottonmouth
Western Ribbon Snake
Gulf Marsh Brown Snake (most abundant sp. in general)
Rough Earth Snake
Broad-banded Water Snake
Plain-bellied Water Snake (Likely Yellow-bellied) (All juveniles)
Mississippi Green Water Snake (most abundant nerodia)
Glossy Crayfish Snake (FINALLY this year, lifer species for 2015)
Texas Rat Snake
Speckeled Kingsnake (DOR only)
Photo Catalog:
Plain-bellied Watersnake
A very decent sized and grumpy Western Cottonmouth
Texas Rat Snake
A very cooperative Juvenile Western Cottonmouth
My lifer Glossy Crayfish Snake!
A monster Marsh Brown next to my wifes hand
A very abnormal patterned Juvenile Western Cottonmouth, was VERY tempted to collect this guy
And a little of our main gear we bring.
Cheers!
