    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Anybody been to west Texas yet ?

And seen the mass stopping of herp hunters from DPS and border patrol ? Not that they are picking on us but just doing their jobs. I would think that since they are all radio equipped, they would radio in on down the road.....hey...the guys in the ford grey 150 pickup is just reptile hunters ! While on River Road the other night, some people were stopped like 3 to 5 times in a 40 mile area of roads .
 
Just got back from

I just got back from two nights in Val Verde County and three nights around the Sanderson area. There were plenty of DPS, Border Patrol and County Sheriff's to go around. On the first night of each area we were stopped several time ( 2 in Val Verde and 3 in Sanderson area), I then decided to take the initiative and when I saw one of them. I pulled over and told them what we were doing. After several stops they all would just wave and move on by us, which made for a lot more pleasant night.

I got

back Monday night. Caught 4 leps, 1 being gravid. Joked with Border Patrol and was not stopped by anyone else. Only saw 8 live snakes in a week, but since half of them were leps, I was pleased! Going back tomorrow.
 
Color Phase

Hey Tim good to hear from you. What color phase and locale were the leps from. Hope you got some of the reds or the snow whites as those are my favorites.

4 counties of leps...

Sunday night was an Edwards Co. adult female. Light grey, with pale forward bands. Monday night produced a Val Verde Co. adult female, light grey with strong dark grey bands. Also Monday night we got a Sutton Co. gravid female, light grey with pale bands. Wed night in Terrell Co. we found a juvenile male, light grey with light mottled banding.
 
Awesome

That sounds like you had a lot of fun. When we kept venomous the leps, sheild nose cobras and dorrissis were the only one we really cared a lot about.

stay in touch,
