Welcome to the forum, Michael...

You can keep the blotched water snakes!!

Anyhow, maybe you can come to the DFW Herpetological Society meeting tomorrow (Saturday) at UTA Life Sciences building - 7pm. If you're there, come introduce yourself. I'll be the one introducing the speaker.

I did make the meeting, guy in Hawaiian shirt, didnt get a chance to introduce myself.

Oh, and any sort of life table requires a HUGE dataset. I dont know if you are familiar with his work, but Justin Congdon spent thirty years getting all the necessary data with Blandings turtles, three generations of turtles, over 30000 recaptures...
