Thanks again
I reckon it would be best to herp Mexico in a group with at least two vehicles. As for permitting, I'll bet if you talked to the right people and offered an appropriate "fee" it could be arranged, things being as they are down there. In either case I be much more into just finding them than collecting but it would be great to have some new locales represented in the hobby.
Interesting point regarding cultural dispositions toward herpetoculture. Brings to mind how when birding in Latin America (I'm also a birder) the locals must think that the rich gringos are insane to be chasing after birds that they don't even catch to eat. I am guessing that in most developing and third world countries nature is to be conquered rather than afforded. Understandable really when considering that the principal occupation is merely survival.
Would love to see more wild deppei and jani pics??? Far too few ever seen.
