Hey Phil, what's up? Don't forget about them being nocturnal during the extreme summers! They still do it, just at night!

Think grayband, subocularis, nightsnakes, and gophers/bulls. Found a dor calligaster subadult yesterday, but all the specks are hiding below. Not too hot, just what they are doing now. I will find many kings in Jan. and Feb. next year, almost all this years hatchlings and the speck adult must have been sick and on its own to be found under a.c. in Jan. That makes 3 callis, 4 specks, 0 graybands (actually 4 found by Zee), and 5 splendies this year so far and winter isn't really here yet! We will have the nations high temps tomorrow in south Texas, around 87. I don't see as much as I thought I would, but have honed in on some likely looking upturned trees with exposed roots at waters edge that looks like a great spot for the specks. Crawdad holes and scattered a.c. should produce some cool stuff on warm days this winter. Hope we can keep this thing going during yall's cold spell! I'm hoping to bring the calligaster record back to Texas soon! LOL!
