Thought I would share some of my trip into the heart of the Mojave with everyone. Had a good time down there this spring doing some desert tortoise work. Desert Tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o752/Roki75/IMG_1247_zps9f3cce77.jpg Love these little guys. http://i1341...

I think it is a red-lipped plateau lizard, but am in a debate about it with a coworker.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Roki

Great post! Thanks for sharing. That sea turtle picture truly is stunning. Those blue iguanas really are very impressive as well.

That is awesome! Congrats!

I agree Jimi. The official protocol I have now seen calls for mid May to mid September. Hopefully looking to hit the ground in May-June.

Sweet post! I want to get down to Peru so bad! Thanks for the posts.

Another great post. You guys always keep that fire of getting over to Asia alive.

That is wonderful! Thanks for the update.

Ha, yes, my apologies guys. Yes, I am referring to Midget Faded rattlesnakes that many locals and apparently one of my bosses refers to as pygmy rattlers. Any ripping gladly appreciated. Just seeing if anyone knew any tips for going for rattlers in Wyoming.
Cheers,

Awesome Post! I am super jealous. I have been down there twice now and haven't had anytime to slow down and go herping in New Zealand. Thanks for sharing.

Incredible post! What an awesome trip. You make me want to get down there.

I really enjoy these bronzeback pictures. Hope you had a great trip.

Great post! I am really wanting to get down to Peru. Thanks for pouring gas on those flames.

This and your last post are awesome! Loving all the frog shots and the one of the caimen lizard is great!

Hi everyone, I hope everyone on here is having a good start to the week. So, I am looking for any advice for finding pygmy rattlesnakes in the Wyoming area. I am not looking for any hot spots or information that really shouldn't be given out. I am however, looking for advice on time of day, techniqu...

Guilty as charged. Super mellow viper. Yes, La Tarde was great. Also, Mike seems to be doing great. Fun guy to hang out with and very knowledgeable. I wished I had more time to spend down there.

I agree with Hans, awesome adventure! Thanks for sharing the post. I might have to find a way to get out there, that is some cool stuff.
Cheers,
Roki

Awesome Post! These pictures are great! You guys really found a lot down in Costa Rica it looks like (frogs and snakes). Felt like I did ok on the frog this time, but hardly found any snakes so bravo to you guys. Super jealous of all the vipers you found and the awesome green basiliscus. Glad you ha...

Thanks again on the ID help guys.

Thanks Cbernz on the raptor id. I did have problems from the start with calling that a crested eagle, but went with it due to a local telling me that is what it was for sure. Also thanks on the litter frogs. Those I had no idea on.

Incredible trip and amazing posts! I thoroughly enjoyed you sharing. I am hoping to make it down there in the next year or two. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great shots! Love the Ensatina pics!

Awesome shots! I am always impressed with the level of quality of the photography on here. Ha, really makes me want a better camera.
Cheers

Thanks for looking and glad you all enjoyed the pictures. Yes, I meet up with Brian while I was down there. He is a great guy and a wonderful person to go herping with. I also meet up with Mike Boston down in Puerto Jimenez and had a great time with him as well out in the interior of the Osa Peninsu...

Those are great. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty jealous, that seems like a wonderful trip. I really want to do a few weeks up there at some point. Thanks for sharing the pics and the inspiration.
Cheers

Loving those shots! I hope someday to get out there and explore that amazing area.

Awesome shots! Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to the forum. You really have some awesome pictures there. Hope you have a wonderful year of herping and enjoy all the postings here. Some of these folks really get some amazing shots and have some pretty wonderful adventures. Here's to getting out and seeing what life has to offer. Cheers, ...

So, as promised here is a quick rundown of the highlights from my trip to Costa Rica. I also would like to thank those of you who gave me some helpful recommendations. I really enjoyed my time down there and I highly recommend the place. I know I was only scratching the surface, but both the Caribbe...

Amazing shots. I had tried years ago while in Fiji to take pictures successfully of banded sea kraits and only got two that are even ok. That shot of the coral reef is wonderful too. It seems rare to find reefs in good condition these days. What island is that if you don't mind me asking. I am plann...

Awesome!

Found a few nice rough-skinned newts while doing some wetlands work in Oregon.


(Taricha granulosa)

That's awesome! Hope it does well.

Those are some great shots. Actually made me miss the east coast a bit. Which is not an easy thing to do. Reminded me of lots of afternoons hunting around the Smokeys for salamanders a long time ago. Cheers.

Ha, awesome. Thanks for correcting me guys. I was actually wondering about that.

Thanks Antonsrkn, I am looking forward to it. I will have far fewer people in tow this time around and am looking to get my boots dirty alot more than last time. Thanks again for the heads up on the poison dart species.

Hi everyone, You guys have quite the impressive website here. Last year I spent two weeks in the northern part of Costa Rica (Monteverde, Arenal, and Tamarindo) and was very surprised to find the country to be living up to it's reputation as a wildlifers dreamland. So, to the point, I am planning a ...
