Reptile & Amphibian Forums

We had a great time in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. We are already planning our next trip there. Low temperature one morning was 36. We saw Grizzly and Black Bear, Bison, Moose, Elk, Mule Deer, Cayote, Grey Fox, Marmot, Mink, Martin etc. Yellowstone is worth the visit just for the geological features. The bad news is that the camera failed on day three and while we were away the computer crashed. I have recovered some emails but lost most everything else that was on the computer. My brother and his wife were with us and I will post our PICs and some of theirs when I get caught up on everything else. I actually did miss you all????

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count:
26.49 BRB
20.21 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

Would that be Dave, who caretakes us all---and our snakes too? (THANKS, Dave!)

Sorry you lost a lot of photo ops; post what you can and we'll all dream of Yellowstone. (Actually I've got to admit I can see all of the animals you listed wandering around in Minnesota---except for the Grizzly, which I'm happy we only have at the Zoo!)

Jeff,
I caught this (what I believe to be) Western Terrestrial Garter Snake (Wandering Garter Snake) in Yellowstone. Did this look like what you saw?
Yellowstone is just phenomenal.
Welcome back,
Paul

Paul,
...Yes it looked like that.
Thanks very much,
Jeff

Makes sense, garters are a cold climate species. I have seen them in the dead of winter!

Glad to hear you are back - I just got back from Florida. While there I rescued(?) two baby kingsnakes that we stuck to masking tape. We saw tons of animals but most were not in the wild. Despite one all nighter and lots of other looking I was not able to see a sea turtle nesting or any hatching. New nests were being built nightly and hatchings were nearly every night.
