Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What exactly is the law in Texas these days? Always wanted to go out there to drive around that area, not that I have any interest in bringing anything home with me any longer, but would love to take a boatload of pics and videos. Are most of the more interesting roads driveable in a rather low riding car, or would I need to rent a Jeep?

You can road cruise, but if you see a snake you can not pick it up while it is on the road. You can only pick them up if they are on the shoulder of the road. And to do so legally you must have a small game hunting lic. with reptile stamp on it. And you also must wear a reflective vest. You can also shine the road cuts and photograph as long as you have the lic. If you would like some good roads to check out, where a low car will be no problem. pm me and i can give you some great places to go. I have over 20 years of field collecting in alterna country.

You need a hunting license just to photograph animals in Texas?
Yeah, Wakulla is nice. Only been seeing lizards active quite yet, but did see a green tree frog jumping around one damp evening. We've seen our share of diamondbacks, corals, and pygmies around here. On occasion coachwhips, pines, hognose and rough greens. Even seen some scarlet kings and scarlet snakes every once in a while. Rarely see any corns, though. I don't even count black racers as we just chase them off into the woods so they don't eat our lizards.
We just had a huge rain storm on Saturday and I was hoping for a little flooding in the lower areas on the north end of our property. But no go. For some reason the box turtles love to float around in the water over there. And these weird green "shrimp" come out of nowhere. I really don't know what they are, but they look exactly like green miniatures of the shrimp we steam up for dinner. They have to pop out of the ground, as those temporary ponds are completely land locked.
The dogwoods are beginning to bloom, so it's getting ready to get REAL pretty around here.

Here's a good event for drawing you out to West Texas... http://snakedays.com/.
Rich,
If you come out for this, you're welcome to ride with me road hunting.
I may also be going out on Memorial Day weekend.
As mentioned, you will need a hunting license, a herp stamp, and a reflective vest.
Getting out and walking the cuts with a good flashlight or headlamp is what I typically do.
