Hiya- sorry I've been slow to catch up with reading! You really need to find out the species of this lizard- "plateau lizards" I only find as a type of...
The people who have the lizard were the ones who identified it as a plateau lizard. I thought from the beginning that it was a whiptail. It was originally...
First off on the show Phenomenon, the mentalist Eran said that a gaboon viper causes instant death when it bites a person; but I know that's not true and that...
... That is not two different snakes. The hoggy *is* venomous, but considered harmless to humans. It's deadly to its prey. It has venom and could possibly bite...
I know they like to eat toads a lot. I remember reading about them when I was little. I can sill remember the exact sentence after more than 25 years. "The...
I'll let you come and kidnap me and take me to Texas if there are lots of snakes around where you're at and I'd have a good chance at catching one. I'd want...
Why bother with tongs? Why not just use gloves? That's what worked for me when I caught that bull snake the last time I saw it. I handled it just like Steve...
Because if he's ever going to rescue RATTLESNAKES like his mom, he needs to use tongs and if he ever pulled a Steve Irwin with a Rattler I'd knock his block...
I don't mean necessarily free tailing a snake if by free tailing, you mean picking a snake up by its tail. I picked that bull snake up by the middle of the...
yes, now, imagine that were a rattlesnake giving you a "kiss". This is why my son was using the tongs, to practice when the snake is wild but not venomous....
... Thanks Lani but I had told this educational org that they needed to take the eggs out but they left them in for the past 5 days and now they are gone. Not ...
It's so sad that they won't support their membership like this. Seems they don't need your money. If I'd been treated like this, especially with the education...
... And it is nice that you are appreciated:) Too bad we don't have a decent Herp Society or Org in NM. Too much politics and corruption:( ... "If you talk...
Yeah, the AHA used to be full of stupid politics, then the membership there got younger and got new, younger, people like myself to join the board and voted us...
Well, that sucks on the eggs. :) Probably got eaten. I agree with Kat though- keep on being the thorn in the side and doing what you can. Every person that...
Jan, Can you start a New Mexico Herp society or call it by a more exact location, like your city. To start a herp society you need a leader to be voted in by a...
... Yah, you Kat and lady V have been my cheering section but I think I have burned out. Although today, a county worker let me know my electricity would be ...
... I think Roy of Las Cruces Reptile Rescue tried to start a Herp Society for the Southern part of New Mexico and they wouldn't let him. I really don't know ...
You are always welcome and I will keep on cheering you along as long as you let me. As to the excellent question from the kid last summer, snakes skin, like ...
... Wow----thanks for that interesting answer. I can only hope my brain can remember all of that info overload. I can also hope that no one else will ask that ...
Are there any herp societies in Rockford, Illinois? If so, what's there phone number so I can ask about joining? God bless, Jason Irelan ssmacek@......
I think they just had that on Jeopardy the other day, about melanin being the component that's missing; but I didn't know the answer. God bless, Jason Irelan ...
I wonder if anyone can help this lady---This was on another list but I know how it is not being able to find a decent vet:( ... "If you talk with the animals...
My guess: a bladder prolapse. There was an article in Reptiles magazine about this within the last year I think. It's no joke. The article blamed husbandry,...
... Thank MB. Sometimes, you just can't find a vet. Here in NM, I have been lied to by vets. In many cases, they did more harm than good. I hope this person ...
He may have to travel out of state. I had to for Pantera. It was all I could do. ... the best vet was not here. Since that time I've found a vet more locally....
We hope most of you have heard by now that the fourth Current Research on Herpetofauna of the Sonoran Desert meeting (CRHSD) is quickly approaching! The...
That sounds interesting, I will make sure that it is posted in the Az Herp Assoc forums, if our Sgt at Arms hasn't already done so.... he's a member of the THS...
I read in my Reptiles magazine that if you're out hunting for herps and plan on picking things up to look under that you should wear gloves to avoid...
Depends on the subspecies. Check google to learn more, there are some varieties that are highly venomous and can cause some real problems, others are nothing...
