Hi everyone! Nice to see there's some people on this fish site that are interested in herps. My interests primarly reside with field herping and photography. Here's a few of my shots of various herps, in my home state of California.

Mojave Patchnose Snake

Sierra Mountain Kingsnake

Mountain Gartersnake

Valley Gartersnake

Northern Alligator Lizard

Southern Long-Toed Salamander

Striped Whipsnake

Sierra Newt

Pacific Tree Frog

Pacific Gophersnake

California Kingsnake 'Eiseni'

They were all photographed in the field. Thanks for the compliment. I'm not a professional photographer, I just enjoy taking pictures of herps.

Haha, ok! I don't currently keep any herps, because of my living situations. I do a ton of field work to keep myself sane. These days I'm collecting data on the 'Eiseni' morph of the california kingsnake. I've found what seems to be sexual dimorphism in their dorsal tail patterning. I still am working on a large enough sample size (currently 40+ animals) to be able to prove or debunk my hypothesis.

Do you keep herps? If so, what kind?

Thats a cool rattler pic! The only herp I am allowed to keep in the house at this time is a female BCC.
