>>Kevin Barnett, Regis Opferman & I just returned from an awesome trip in the jungle of Peru. We went down with Dick Bartlett & Margirita Tours & stayed about 100 miles down the Amazon from Iguitos. What a freaking blast. Snake hunting day & night, fishing, kayaking, swimming in the river & everything else you could imagine. There were about 14 of us looking for reptiles full time & the only boas found were a couple ATB's & one beautiful little Rainbow. Contrary to popular belief, boas are very few & far between even in pristene jungle. Devon & Co. have 16 or more trips between them all a minimum of 2 weeks & have only found 2 B.c.c. We did give it our best though & found plenty of other species most commonly Fer-De-Lance. I'll post a few pics tonight & if anyone would like to see more, feel free to look through my photo album at www.picturetrail.com. Under visit an album at the top right, type in LeeBarrie with no spaces & go to the 04/05 peru trip album. More pics will be added in the following weeks. Also, Kevin should be adding his pics soon to the ectothermics web page.

>>If any of you ever get a chance, try Peru out it really was a serious blast.
