Here are a few pics of some ruthveni that I was fortunate enough to see this year in East Texas. Some of these pics have been posted on another site, so some of you may have seen these before!!

This first male I found in April.

This was the only female we found this year. I found this snake crossing a forest road in mid august just before 11am.

Nah, you know ever since I had words with Randall I don't even think I am allowed in those shows and really have no desire to go to them anyway. I will be in Austin for the show on the 1st and 2nd of Dec though. Tom Stevens

Awesome finds!!! That first habitat pic looks like something straight out of a Stephen King novel. lol Did you see any bigfoots? lol Kevin

No big foots were seen this year. Theres not much of this habitat left in the state, don't think theres enough left to support any Bog foot pops!!
