the paper was very informative!! i printed it out and it was 25 pages of good alterna reading wich was fun for me.

Blake, your next assignment is to read and study
Texas Snakes: A Field Guide (Texas Natural History Guides) by James Dixon and John Werler. It is now down to 15 bucks on Amazon. You may also find it in a public library (to save money). This will provide you with Range Maps and some observation notes that are very nice.

Your questions are good. It sounds like you are trying to get an overall knowledge of our hobby. Now it is time for us to ask you a question? What are your goals? What are you truly interested in?

Good Luck and keep the questions coming.

Um im realy intereste in Lyre snakes Alterna and all the crotes but anything in west texas is very cool and unique.

Are you out to Pokemon them (get 'em all!) or are you defining your search for target species and hoping to see others while focusing on your targets? I first started going out for the chance at seeing alterna but have since been sidetracked with the other glories out there! LOL, I STILL haven't gotten an alterna on my own but have shared in the outings with four scores. I need to paint little 1/2 alternas on my wife's car door!

I think id like to hunt crotes and Pictigaster with a fair chance of seeing Subocs and Alterna but since this will be my first time out I would be sadisfied with a rattlesnake and a
ratsnake lol.
