My first post

Hello, my name is Jhon and I'm shifting to America to herp. I have only become a herper recently but I have read a lot and know a lot and I have always loved wildlife and watch them a lot doing things. I have been speaking to my best american friend who is already in America and we wish to start a herping wildlife show on youtube, where we show people how to herp the right way and inform them about the animals. So many people, especially Americans I think, know so little about herpes. I met an American herper at a retreat center and he took me herping and taught me everything he knows. Not my friend my friend doesn't know as much but he is a good guy.
I wanted to share some of my photos that I have taken recently at the center last month where I went herping with my new friend.
This is a Spiny Tailed House Gecko. It is missing part of its spiny tail as a snake has eaten it.
This is a White-spotted Supple Skink. I was able to distinguish it from a Common Spotted Supple Skink because I blew up the photos to their full size and could measure the spots on my computer. I think this spot difference makes the difference for the ID.
This is a spider and he is angry.
This is a stick spider or something. He was too skinny to focus on.
This is a Common Bronzeback Snake which we can identify due to its blue tongue which I compelled it to stick out. It was blue not red. The snake lived in this pipe. I am sure it lived exclusively there because I checked on it 39 times over the course of four days and it was always in the pipe. At first it was very hard to get close but over time I was able to get closer and closer without it ducking back down. I believe that it feeds and breeds and will die in the pipe, probably for generations.
Here is my video of the snake living in the pipe.
This is an Oriental Rat Snake but that name is kind of offensive so I don't say it where I live. I caught it but it bit me so I let it go and so blurriness is snakes fault.
This looked like a cross between a frog and something else so I couldn't identify it. It was almost like a sea monster in the water. Matty told me to mark it as possible new species
This is what I call a False Underground Cobra because I only find it under things (I have heard of the false water cobra so there should be false underground cobra too). My dad said it was a cobra but my herper friend told me it is a Common Wolf Snake. It bit me on the hand and bled a lot, I think biting me gave the snake a crooked mouth, that happens right?
These insects are either in disagreement or the complete opposite but I like the picture because it is symmetrical.
This bat came from Jesus.
This is a water monitor. I caught a monitor and it bit me on the knuckle and took all the skin, this served as food for him. The water was very dirty and the monitor mouth was very dirty so I prayed to not get an infection. But later on the staff there caught him and he served as food for them! haha no but now I feel bad.
This is a Checkered Keelback. This is a very common snake here but this one was very large and I'm sure ferocious so I didn't touch it because I was a bit scared.
This is an owl looking at me.
This time you can see the owl is happy to see me.
This is a cricket frog. We couldn't identify species because some scientists have ruined everything according to my reading.
This is a bunch of birds they are sleeping but one I think he is not sleeping, not sleeping at all.
If you want to see more I have begun to post all the photos on my facebook.
