I had the pleasure of visiting Dr Bechtel a long time ago and he let me take a few pics of snakes I hadn't ever scene before in person. This was way before the internet and we used to travel hours sometimes just to see one grayband. Anyway he let me use a makeshift barnboard background he used for pics. Here's the pics. He was probably the nicest person I've ever meet. Everytime he saw me he remembered my name and always talk to me like I was veteran herper and not the newbie I was back then. I will miss him.
