Kyle,
What a great year and excellent photos as well. I really like the Leptodeira photos, I got jealous every time I saw you post one on Flickr, they are so unique and different from any other US snakes.

Hey Brian,
How have you been? You had a good year yourself. We still need to get out herping together sometime.
Thanks a lot man, it really was an awesome year, got to see a few species that I grew up dreaming about. Hopefully 2016 is even better.
