2004 herps and habitat shots(Be-ware dial up users)
Havent contributed to this site in along while. Thought it might be time. Some of these photos may look familiar to a few of ya'll. Pics are from the last few months in south east texas.
Lampropeltis Calligaster Calligaster
Lampropeltis Getula Holbrooki
Pantherophis Guttata Slowinski, I believe
Diadophis Punctatus Stictogenys, These snakes are pretty rare in south east texas to say the least.
Thamnophis Sirtalis Sirtalis, these are pretty scarce in south east texas also. I've managed to turn up five of these along the coast, unfortuantely they have all been in the same condition.
Coluber Constrictor Flaviventris
Ambystoma Texanum
Not sure of their common name ?
A few habitat pics
Enjoy
-Scott W

Nice, Scott. Still want the speckled. Hey I just obtained a baby that may be a speckled X splendida like my male. Lots of yellow.
On a side note, you should have seen KC (album cover/avatar reference) back in the day. No one was ready for them!
By the way, I'm adding a mangrove water snake page to my album now. I GOTTA get BETTER pics!

Glad you liked the pics!!!. Holbrooki are byfar my favorite getula sub species, we tend to get some awesome looking specimens around here from time to time.

Mark. Yea you werent the only person interested in obtaninng that Speckled. More and more of the field I found him from is being destroyed every day. Several houses now stand where there were none several week ago. But I suspect I can still find a few more nice looking individuals in that field to start up a decent breeding line. Cant wait to look at your mangrove pics either. As for king crimson their def my fave of the classic rock bands, I am still astounded by some of their music.

that is one incredible holbrooki! its a great shot too. i also really like the pic of the salamander coming straight at ya. just a note: i believe that slowinski are now considered their own species as opposed to a sub of the corn.

Thanks Thunder. I knew that they were given species status. But I thought there was some kind of argument on whether or not they would be called Slowinski The Salamander fine qualifies as find of the year material for stuff found around the Houston area.
Herpers2, Thanks for the kind words.

Although I'm neglecting to look at my range maps before posting this, laziness, are you positive that salamander is a texanum? It sure, from the picture, looks a lot like an Ambystoma laterale.

Well, nevermind. Sorry, I'll take your word for it. Particularly since I just noticed it's somewhat difficult to tell the two apart in a picture, I've got a bad angle in that picture, and b/c I don't have any range maps in front of me. I seem to think blue-spotted might not even go down that far. Smallmouth it is.

Definitely Texaunum. Blue Spotteds dont range into to Texas. Salamanders are far and few between here in Harris County. But i'll take what I can get.
