Re: herping in the Mojave desert
LOL, yeah. Steve Irwins awesome. you're actually not supposed to 'harass' any of the animals in the park either. by harass i mean get close enough to the animal to where it reacts, thats what the ranger told us. i didnt know any of this and me and my dad were out there lookin for herps like nothin, LOL. so after that we just left the park and went herping on the side of the road (which was better anyways, haha).

Is that a national park rule, a California state rule or just a J Tree rule?
And btw, you were about 45 minutes from me when you were in J Tree! /wave

That guy is a beast!!! Great pics Marshall.
Those are hard to compete with......I'll have to get out in the swamp to take some pics this weekend :D
Re: herping in the Mojave desert
yeah, and he wasnt an easy beast to catch either! if my dad wasnt there i couldnt have got 'em. he was under like 2, 100 lb. boulders.
awesome, find a nice big gator for me!
Re: herping in the Mojave desert
Thats awesome man! I swear those lizards look so much like a Uromastyx...gotta be closely related somehow. I wish I had herping like that around here. The only reptiles I get see live in sterilite tubs in my room.....:(
Re: herping in the Mojave desert
i think you're right. i might have to do a little research on them.
me and my dad drove 10 hours just to see these lizards. now thats when you KNOW you're a herper. lol
