This was a strange trip for Lance and I. Normally we see MANY snakes but no Alterna. It was a nice change of pace. Thanks to the following folks for making our trip a Great One...
Coach and Moe (you guys are always the best)
Steve Boyd (hope you finished up your trip strong)
Jim_D and Tom Anderson (Congrats on finding your fist Alterna!)
Wayne and Family (Sorry you didn't score...)
Nathan Wells and crew (how did you guys do?)
Dave D.
Tim Cole (Post some pics of the lepidus when time permits)
Mike Price
and a huge thanks to Roy E of the Outback Oasis Motel in Sanderson. If you can, try to stay with these guys cause they have great rates and a Herp Friendly environment. And they now have WIRELESS!
Last my big Thanks to Lance... Thanks for the snores, the farts, the laughs and for keeping me going when my a$$ gets lazy.

Best Wishes to all heading to West Texas.

Steven Owens

THanks for helping us with the wireless. Great to see you and Lance. Watch for future post. Look forward to seeing you next time.
Roy & Ruth

The alterna ate it's first F/T fuzzy tonight... Oh Yeah!

Gotta love it.

Steven

Nice alterna!

I would hook you up with my snake, but its a male. You're talking about the sheffield snake on the alterna page right? I might head out there a few nights in a week or so, but only if I can find someone to go with me. Too damn far from town.
