Thanks, it was something pretty special! Definitely made the trip.
I'll take a look now. Thanks!
Thank you! I've got a bunch of them, haha. I'll try to keep posting from the past. I didn't see the snake week (looks like I missed it), but I hope there will be another.
Definitely not a tiger. They do not range anywhere near there.
That's a lot! I'll look at your sightings to see if I can find any.
In that trip, the less commonly seen snakes were ridgenosed rattlesnakes in Arizona (though I fortunately get to see a lot per year) and twin spotted rattlesnakes. One of the favorite things I found was a big, red diamondback in Eastern New Mexico out in the hot sun trying to eat a dead hognosed snake.
I've only been there once; this August. Two week trip looking for snakes across Arizona, New Mexico, and in West Texas from Guadalupes down to finding a diamondback in the reeds along the edge of the Rio Grande by Black Gap. Really amazing stuff, and the trans pecos rats were my favorite colubrids :) We found 5 or 6 (one may be a repeat)
Well if you're in West Texas, they can't be that far away! They're such cool snakes - really friendly and slow moving.
Beautiful snake! They're such variable animals.
That is a screamer of a molossus! Do you have any other photos of it?
