Re: Need trash or rocks
Hope the best for you there young man... I wish you great success, I'm NOT here to bash you. However, I'm in a totally different world than you. I'm almost 60 years of age and very-very new to herping... not even a year experience yet. My interest is in rattlesnakes. I catch and release ONLY - I do ...

Re: Show Us Your Rattlesnake FIELD Pics and Video of 2014
I can't think of any snake native to the US and/or Canada that gets bigger than an EDB. Only some longer snakes. My group on CC's trip found another huge EDB and we saw a juvi EDB as well as a dusky pygmy on the SEC's ANF trip. If only I still had pics of those snakes on my computer and not have to...

Re: Show Us Your Rattlesnake FIELD Pics and Video of 2014
Living as far north as I do, my state doesn't have much in terms of rattlesnake diversity. We have one species, but it is a species which is in bad shape across its range with the exception of here and Ontario. And even so, they still face threats here such as habitat loss and development, road mor...

Re: Snake identification from Colombia
This is indeed Atractus sanctaemartae. The genus is the largest in the snake world, with around 137 known species, most being fossorial burrowers. Many also have very small distributions. While many are rare in a statistical and numerical matter, they may not be as rare as we think due to their sec...

Re: Snake identification from Colombia
El Dorado is out of range for crassicaudatus. This species is Atractus sanctaemartae. The color pattern matches the descriptions of the species, and it's in range. The species exhibits a lot of sexual dimorphism, and the males were previously considered a distinct species. Males have a dark dorsum ...
