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.

Took a walk in So Cal and...
Took a hike yesterday in the arroyo near my home here in The OC and came across this nice little San Diego gopher. Only bit me once - not too bad. Good colors, but a little thin. I thought about taking him home and fattening him up, but decided against and just let him go.

Ross - Yes, I have seen many brown/yellow california Kings in my 'hood. They are one of the more common varieties in this area, along with gophers and red diamondbacks.

Not any more but I did for about 5 years. All I looked for were kingsnakes but I found a few other species as well. Its a tough place to herp because of the limited amount of habitat left. I set up a few boardlines and found a few boardlines. Some of those sites have been developed, some cleaned up, and one area was taken over by mustard plants. I mean really thick mustard. I found a really rare type of Newport called a scrambled banded morph that came out in Brian Hubbs book on kingsnakes. 2006 was my best year, it was also my first. I injured my knee, which pretty much stopped me. Its slowly getting better though. Maybe next year I'll try it again but there are not many places left.
