>>John, Nice pic of a interesting looking longnose. Glad someone is out there looking for some McMullen co. triangulum, I have heard that area had some decent rains this spring, so you should have a good chance. Only bad news I have heard is that the oil field traffic is tremendous on TX-16-624 & most roads there. Have you been having to deal with alot of traffic while there? I look forward to a future year when I can re-visit McMullen county myself again, to find another triangulum myself. Heres a photo of my first ever wc McMullen annulata male, that I found on 5-14-87 & still have him here, now, alive yet ageing....Another clutch of 6 eggs, only 3 fertile, from him bred to a female also from McMullen county, due to hatch any day now...Later, John

Thanks John.....

And yes the Eagle Ford Oil Boom oil field traffic is leaving FM 624 and TX 16 littered with DORs.......but we've been getting off those literally beaten paths lately.



In the past we've had great luck finding triangulum in Nueces, Jim Wells, Live Oak and McMullen counties but they have managed to elude us this season......



We will be out trying some more though.....especially after seeing your smokin annulata......
