**Venomus
2015, saw the most species of snakes for my personal field herping records thanks to the copious trips my wife and I made into chambers and Montgomery counties. As well as our impromptu trip out west to Jeff Davis County, for Rattlesnakes and Subocs. Our honeymoon in Honduras was mostly fruitful yielding an OK 5 species of snakes having only spent a couple hours actively searching outside of our full day trip for the Hog Island Boas on the Major and Minor islands. All were photographed if they are on this list, albeit some better than others. Looking forward to 2016, as we push new areas and attempt to break the lists records each and every year.
