Quick 30 minute herping experience.

Met up with Kat in Bayshore to talk/walk, ended up in Andrew Haden Park and chased some ducks/geese around, when I spotted a RES peaking out of the grasses in the water... I decided to leap about 7 feet into water where I couldn't see the bottom (too many weeds and wayyy too murky) and caught more then I expected lol. Got the RES and a bunch of glass in my foot, Kat removed most of it. Anyway... it got pretty nasty by last night so I went on a cutting spree removing all necrotic tissue, its doing great now.

Lesson learned, don't jump when you cant see the bottom :P

Re: Quick 30 minute herping experience.

It would have been allot better but I spent all day on my feet today... we drove for 3 hours to go pick up a male adult Taiwan beauty... we get there and its an 11 inch FEMALE with a kink that was sure to be fatal... Right side of the jaw was folded into the head...
Waste of a trip, and I saw an animal I would have culled the second it hatched.
