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.

2 black tail rattlers
1 trans pecos ratsnake

Since when are there domestic hares?
You do know that jack rabbits aren't really rabbits don't you?

He is going to try and breed the Jack rabbit to a domestic rabbit, and all rabbits come from their wild counter parts...I don't know if it will work, but what the heck. Yeh we did take some pics but from a conventional camera not a digital..

M Dwight, if it twitches it's nose has long ears and a cotton tail, then it's a rabbit. I don't care what science says!

Great trip!
What was the weather like?? Excellent find on the trans-pecos ratrsnake! Was it crossing the road, or under debris???? I would LOVE to see some pictures of your finds. If you can't post them here, maybe try fieldherpforum dot com , or fieldherpers dot com. Either way, sounds like you had a great time.
Later
Matt

We actually found 3 trans pecos rats in 2 trips and they were all on the road.
My friend from work is going to come to the house a take a bunch of pics so I can post them.. Check out the repticzone sometime; it is real easy to post pics there. The temps were in the high 80's and mid 60's at night...Fort davis is where we found some Mottled rock rattlers last year on the scenic road ...

Lots of domestic hares. Mainly of European stock, check out austrailia's problems and the offending breeds.

Now this is funny. Rabbits and hares are two different things. First things that come to my mind are gestation and body temp differences. Just because they look alike doesnt mean your gonna have any luck reproducing.
What are the local game laws in Virgina? Most states consider wild rabbits game animals and have special trapping regulations. Even then alive capture is further regulated in most states.

Just looked here and at the September post date:
http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/hunting...ng_seasons.asp
So trapping on private land with box traps for live rabbits: OK
But only December through Feb.
So you illegally trapped and are detaining the critter, you could be facing some fines if your caught. That and posting it here is an admission of guilt in most courts if they have physical evidence of the crime.
Just my $0.02
