Harvest Herping!

Jeremy Pierce Jun 25, 2007 11:39 AM

Hello everyone! I was helping my in-laws with wheat harvest this weekend. I really thought I would see more in the way of herps. I saw one racer, one ornate box turtle, a couple of skinks, and a MILLION toads. I had to drive by Cheyenne Bottoms(a wetland area in Kansas believe it or not!), and the toads were everywhere on the road. I am talking thousands! All about the size of a quarter to half dollar. We have had a lot of rain here this year and that has definately helped the amphibians out I believe. I was disappointed in the fact that I did not see one Bull. I thought I would see a ton but not a one! I know they are around, I just must never have been in the right place at the right time. On the positive bull note I came home to two bull clutches hatching and my western fox clutch hatching! For the iceing on the cake, I am supposed to get my Ginter bred pair of pumilus on Tuesday! I am way pumped! Take care everyone!

one of the cleanest whitesides you'll ever see! A sweet little male. I love this time of year. I won't sleep well tonight waiting for everything to come out and then my pumilus showing up tomorrow! Definately a sweet week!

WOW!!!!
That is an awesome little bull! Congrats!
I am not very much into the albinos or the pure white-patternless, but that little whitesides is spectacular.

Thank you guys! Out of 12 eggs 8 were whitesides! None of them ugly. On a crazy note....I had western fox eggs hatch over the last day as well. I had 10 babies out of 9 eggs and 9 females! Every year I have bred the foxes I have been female heavy. Better than the other way! Take care all!
