A hatchling nightsnake...getting this little guy to calm down for a few shots was a challenge!

Very nice finds. That Tiger Rattler is awesome I've seen Specks that color but not a Tiger. Have you been getting any of that Monsoon moisture yet?

azatrox Jul 16, 2007 07:09 PM

very little...it rained on us for about 15 minutes on a hike last week, but other than that there's increased humidity and the cicadas have kicked up...no monsoons to speak of yet.

When they do hit, stuff will be jumpin'...lookin' forward to it!

Sweet finds. Those Tigers look a bit like Specks to me. Always cool to see atrox.

She's 100% tigris...mitchelli don't occur in this mountain range....

BTW....The monsoons have hit Az as I speak...guess who's goin' night hiking tomorrow?
