for all the compliments. Beautiful day in my neck o' the woods -- barely a cloud in the sky. Russo and Panichi can confirm, lol. Going back to Canada, with the area called Mont Tremblant, Quebec to be more precise, is definitely on the to-do list. Now it's off to Va in April/May to do some serious L. g. getula hunting with Howie S. (hey, you bring the brew and I'll put on a chicken when I arrive....) and maybe, FINALLY, get back to herpin out west next year or some higher-elevation spots somewhere. Howie, pic numero tres is a Jefferson County syspila -- we need another round of "guess the locality" to shake off the winter rusties -- OFFICERS BROWN and HARDWICK!!! LOL.
But seriously, can't wait to see what you all hatch out this year. Everyone's got some reeeeal lookers out there. I'm trying something new this year in the incubator, which is placing the eggs on that white plastic drop-ceiling material which rests above the incubation medium (in which mine is 75% vermiculite and 25%, roughly, sphagnum moss). General consensus of experiences with this practice -- thumbs up or down??
Check out this monster Panther cham cage we just finished building yesterday. Decorated pics will follow.
