Really great post, Frank. I always look forward to your posts. Some of the best photos out there in my opinion. I’m hoping to make a trip out to West Texas this coming year. Maybe we’ll run into each other haha.

Re: Introduction (and my favorite finds!)
Glad to see you finally on here. I wish more of the Utah guys were still active. Nice photos too. I look forward to your 2017 recap. For only herping a few years, you sure are knocking off some tough to find species.
