Cool gars!

About how long are they?

Nice gar you got there bro

 

[floridagar]

Yeah they are pretty unique

Thanks for the comments! They range in size from about 8-11 inches.

thanks for the update! they are looking GREAT. again, would you mind if i used some of the pics for stickies?

 

[joe00]

Use any of my pics for any reason you like, at any time, Xander. Glad they may be useful!

great looking gars, and thanks for posting the updated pics! all that being said, they have quite the interesting pattern...i'll see what Richard thinks of this too. they look pretty atypical of spotted gars we have seen in IL and other locations...do you know what river system/watershed you got them from? that would help with a bit of a mystery.

along those lines, xander, i would be wary of using the photos as representative of the species just yet if i were you--

Yeah, I was going to send an E-mail off to you about that among other things but looked at the clock and realized hauling my butt to bed was a good idea. I'll send you over a note later today when I get a chance.

I'd be interested in an ID, and location too.
