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.

Thumbs up 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,
