    Weekend with Loren

    Loren & I went to So*Cal this weekend to do some herping in the high desert. Although we didn't find any garters, we had a pretty good trip. Here are some highlights from the weekend...
    Chuckwalla, one of several found


    speckled rattlesnake


    The bat I caught! My wife said I could not keep it : (


    Patchnose snake Loren caught, he was pulling thorns out of his hand for some time after catching this guy...LOL!


    Rosy Boa that Loren found...an easier catch for him this time.


    A shovelnose snake that we didn't find til midnight crossing the road

    While we were down there we met someone that gave us a couple of snakes.

    I got a coachwhip




    & Loren got a Lyre snake




    We had a good time, but I couldn't wait to get home & clean up after sleeping out in the desert for a couple of nights with no shower...LOL!

    Not having to shower was my favorite part!

    looks like you had a great time
    thanks for the wonderful photos
    I really like your coachwhip
    the rosy boa is on my wish list - unfortunately way down, since it's illegal in NYC

    Beautiful photos.
    How do you catch a bat? I assume you didn't capture it in mid-flight

    It was in the rock cracks. I used the snake hook to get it out then I grabbed it.

    BTW, the coachwhip is doing GREAT!!!!!
