Hello Shane,

I really enjoyed your photos.
Looks like you had a wonderful time in Japan.

I will be visiting family in Furano City, Hokkaido Japan in July.
I am looking forward to doing a little herping too!

A few years back, a friend of mine (who works for a zoo in Japan) invited me to accompany him on a herp collecting trip to the Ryukyu Islands in search of a some Protobothrops species for the display at the zoo.
I was unable to go at that time....who knows, perhaps in the future?

It was great to see the concrete irrigation ditches featured in your photos...I have found a lot of nice snakes in these ditches while in Japan! They are a popular place for collectors (and snakes) to frequent.
Great pics and commentary.
Take care.

Your friend,
