Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the collection.



>> All I've ever found are leps and pics.



I imagine that's a common occurrence for most herpers, if they are fortunate to see that much. As I said, I had MANY fruitless nights, and my success was based largely on the total amount of hours spent during ideal conditions.



The reason most herpers wouldn't realize that there are different areas, is because the alterna farther east seem to only cross the road under a very particular set of conditions. Whereas the upper canyon is right smack in the middle of prime habitat, the Lower Ranch only borders the foothills on the south side of the road. I have been present on evenings where other herpers have collected alterna, each time they were found in the upper canyon.
