Re: Reptile/ snake book for herping Cal/Nev/Utah
Thanks guys
I see there is no straightforward answer to my question.
I really like to have a book with me so i think i will go with the stebbins although it is not totally up to date.
It will suit my needs of tourist herper
The calherps website is also a very good tip.
Thanks

Re: Herping tips holiday Utah California in july
Thanks Jimi and Bob for your replies. I'm getting there.
In Holland we only have one kind of national park so I wasn't aware of true NP and national recreation areas.
Good to know.
I will look into the new rules in 2020 and see what i can and cannot do.

That makes things clear for California. I will ask for the NP rules when i am there.
Any other members that can help me with licensing in Utah and Neveda?
