Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Well, it's that time of year again, boys and girls! I hope everyone participates, since it gives us "interweb friends" more connection with who we're talking to and reminds us that even those we disagree with are real people. So, post 'em up! One photo or ten - let's see those faces!

I'll start us off:

Me with a Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) on the Bighorn River, MT

-Cole Grover

Me with a Striped Bass about a mile off shore in Montauk, NY..

Wait, is it a fish theme??

Don't make laugh Doug, just had dinner! Hey Joe, that's cool! Is that a carrot stogy the snowman is puffing on?? LOL!

Scott

Doug, yeah she is 11 years younger than me. I don't mind!!! LOL. Scott, that is a tent stake in his mouth. Its all I could find on short notice without going into the wife's toy chest. LOL!!! She probably would not like that, nor would the neighbors.

Good call on the tent peg, much better than going into your wifes toy chest...LOL!

Scott

Yeah, but that would have made for one funny gayman---oops, I mean snowman. LOL.

Hahahahahaa! Joe that is too funny bro. I guess it would depend on where it was put!.......LOL!

Scott

OK here goes. Don't laugh too hard. Oh what the hell, live it up! I had long hair most of my life (untill last year, cut it short) kinda a must when you play in rock/metal bands. Scott

1st pic, just me screwing around with my 76 Gibson Explorer 06.
2nd pic, on the road from TX to NM and back hunting snakes, 07.
3rd pic, hunting pyros up in the NM mountains last year. Caught one that day, a female.

HAHAHAHA. That is GREAT!!! Look out slash, here comes Scott!! Hey bro, I had hair down to my a-- for three years when I was a cop. When I went back to uniform (crime scene officer) I swirled it up into a bun and put my hat over it. I used to let it down sometimes before I left work. Well, many officer did not know I had long hair under that hat. They would flip out!!! I was on the Potomac River fishing a bass tournamnet and forgot to put my hair up. It was so tangled that I had to cut it off. I never have grown it back since. Hell, I might not be able to anymore! The hair is awesome bro. Do you wish you still had it long?

Thanks Joe! That's so great you had long hair and your fellow officers knew nothing about it, just too cool! Yeah I do miss it, kind of felt like a losing an arm...LOL! Could always grow it back, but for now it's a nice change.

Scott

You should bro. I think being different and having long hair is great. I would grow mine back if I was not so old. LOL. My wife actually likes me to shave my head and that makes me look even older. Glad she likes older men though!!!

Yes I should, have been thinking about. In the winters here can feel my neck freeze up, sends shivers down my spine, just like when a pretty women walks by, well not that good...LOL! You should grow yours back too, who cares, it's want you want that's important.

Scott

AHHH, we think alike. I am working on it right now, and this is the first time in two years I have had ANY hair. One thing is for sure, my friends say I look 10 years younger with hair. I have to keep it now!!

Great idea Bro, then when we go hunting zonata, we will both have longer hair. So lets rock on....LOL!

I live in Maryland. I love painted brick and when I move to this neighborhood five years ago NONE of the houses were painted. First thing I did was paint the house white and put a new dark roof on. 36 gallons of PRIMER alone. Sucked, but I like the way it looks and others are starting to do theirs now.

Nice family, Joe. I haven't seen snowmen like that since I lived in Buffalo many years ago!

Dave
DNS Reptiles

Thanks Dave. That snow was very heavy and packed easily. I did not plan to make a 7 foot snow man when I started but that is what happened. The bottom snow ball got so heavy I could not move it any more as my pants and jacket can attest to. Fell flat on my face trying to get it away from the sidewalk. That was fun time with my wife and daughter though. I took the storm off from snow plowing to spend time with them.

The closest thing we have here in NM is a tumblweed man...LOL!

Scott D

Here's me with a bass I caught with my buddy in Ft. Pierce, Fl. a while back. Yes, we drank a few while fishing(as always)..LOL!

5 and half pounds or so Doug? I caught my biggest bass in a pond behind my brothers condo in Ft. Lauderdale two years ago. Hard to tell by photos how big they are sometimes.

Yeah Joe, I would guess it at around that!. I caught a freakin 24" long bass inn the same neighborhood with him the year before. What a MONSTER it was!!!!...WOOOOO!

Dude!, I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale..LOL! The decent middle class neighborhood I lived in as a kid is now a discusting crack ghetto!!. My fishing buddy also grew up there, and we have known each other since third grade. So when we drove through our old neighborhood a couple years back, we were both horrified at what the place had become......it REALLY pi$$Ed me off man!

I was caring a huge truck bed full of big tool chests, and it looked like we were trying to make a quick trade for crack cruising through the "hood" there..LOL! All eyes were on the two white crackers driving slowly with a huge load of tools!..LOL!

I said,..."dude!, let's get the F&*# outa here, before we get shot or some SH!*"!!!..LOL!

So we took of with a sick feeling in our stomachs to think that was once our fun stompin grounds..LOL!..........

HAHAHAHA. LMFAO. Sucks though, that is what is happening to all childhood places. My mother went to a diner two weeks ago down there and could not even order because the server did not speak english. WTF!! My brother lives off of Atlantic ave. accross from the horse race track. His condo backs up to a golf course. Great bass fishing!! I caught a 27" 8.5 pounder out of one of the ponds.

WOW!,..yes, I know EXACTLY where that is!..LOL!, been to the track, and had a girlfriend that lived right off Atlantic!

Small world sometimes!, glad you know that place too..LOL!

Doug, I used to live for it and have about thiry rod and reel combos in my basement from those days. I went through four bass boats in my twenties and thirties. All my "high tech" gear is now obsolete!! Lucky for me shimano curado reels are still good and I made a couple of my rods (with help from a buddy) out of St. Croi (spelling?) blanks. They have held up well. Do you fish mostly salt water? Seems you have a lot of peir photos too. Cooler of beer, a buddy or two, and some night fishing. Gotta love it.

Yeah Joe, when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale, I went fishing every single weekend either in the intracoastal, or the ocean. Caught some real bruisers in my day. Port Everglades area was killer too!.

I caught tons of sharks right on the Lauderdale strip at night too by the basketball courts near the Yankee Clipper across from the Marriot there. I used to have countless rods and reals too, but due to a long story, I no longer have them. I had some super quality stuff too.

So where I live now, I do a little salt too hear and there too, but go freshwater fishing with my buddy in Ft. Pierce most of the time lately. I had a nice shark on with my girlfriend a few months ago that I almost got up to me after about 30 minutes, but snapped off at the last freakin second when it was only about 25 feet in front of me in knee deep water. My girlfriend was freaking out, and I kept telling her...."RELAX!, I will grab this sucker by the tale and drag it's a$$ to the shore if I can get my hands on it"..LOL!

I have pulled countless big sharks up on the beach like they are a big sack of potato's..LOL!. But she doesn't have a clue about any of the stuff I have done, she just thinks shark, water, me,........bad combination..LOL!

Silly girls!!

You are crazy!! I probably would have been freaking out too. I have caught lots of sharks too, but not while I was in the water with them!! I am mostly a fresh water guy myself but love to go salt water fishing from time to time because I will eat some of those! Pawley's Island SC has a peir village with a private peir and I went there for fifteen years straight to fish. Caught sharks, tarpon, flounder, redfish, ect. Good stuff bro. We will have to go wet a line one day while I am down there. (may be moving there in the future as you know) I keep seperate fishing tackle down there at my brothers so I don't have to take the stuff on a plane.

Very cool Joe!, I would love to wet a line with you sometime!. That and snakes are tough to beat as you know

Love catching all those you just named!

Nice!!!! Last time I tried to ski I was 17 years old and flew off the slope and into the woods. Ran into a snow blower and broke both of my rental ski's off a foot from the front. The blunt end of the ski's made for a nice display coming the rest of the way down the hill. Looks like you are skiing UPHILL in that photo.

yeah I was trying to work my way around the side of the mountain to another run. On the backside of the Grand Tetons, WY.

That is one tall vision rack behind you. I would need a stool to check the upper snake. Looks like you have pumped some iron in your day Randy.

The visions are a little on the tall side Joe but it's no problem. I just pull the top couple out and set them on the counter for access.
Yea the lifting helped me on the job for years which I'm sure you can relate to. I worked the last 25 years in a state psychiatric hospital.

Speaking of habitat photos.

Yes sir!

Here's my Dad with the same snake:

winter?

As you know I'm over on the east coast of Florida now (still miss the west)!

Haven't played much during the off season...expensive and not much free time as of late...however I did play 3 weeks ago...a little course, par 67...shot a 69!

2 over for 18 holes...a personal best for me. (3 birdies in a row, and 4 birdies for the day)...I guess I just needed a break to get better?

You still have my contact information correct?

Let me know if you ever get over to the Space Coast!

Oh my God Rusty! That is an incredible photo essay, wow!

Pulling the Z out of the crack, then it having a lizard it's trying to finish off, and then it keeps eating in your hand, then the release, and the whole time the river in the back ground is crashing near by, with you wearing a giant backpack. WOW! Hard core dude.
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the photos.

Very cool thanks,

-Dell

I have my X girlfriend to thank for the insitu capture photos.

I have my X girlfriend to thank for the insitu capture photos.

I was totally freaked out...I couldn't even speak...just saw this Mt. King barely visible...and just ran to grab it...then when I noticed it was eating...I was very careful not to make it regurge. I would have felt bad if I freaked it out...I guess that's years of handling snakes for ya!

The backpack sucked...it was 55lbs...and for someone that doesn't get any exercise...it almost killed me. My leg almost went out on me on the way down...I'm much better suited for day hikes!

It was an incredible experience...I'll always remember that moment...it was the highlight of the entire trip!

It was very difficult letting it go!

That was the Merced River in the background, just east of Little Yosemite Valley, approx. 6250ft...Yosemite, Mid May 2005.

-Rusty

oh well...

>>... WOW! Hard core dude...I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the photos.

ah, next he'll be claiming to wrestle alligators on golf courses. no way i'm falling for that until i see photos.

I hear that Terry, who would rassle a gator while golfing? Crazy, thats what that is.
-Dell

Now that was cool. Very 'high black" animal. I cannot believe it finished the lizard while you were holding it!!! WTF.

the soft touch!

Hahaha!

-Rusty

Awesome Rusty!!, I remember that bad boy from a long while back. What a great thing to experience man!

But tell the truth, that thing regurged all over you just seconds after those shots were taken..

just messin with ya bro!..LOL!. I'll bet that thing was some kinda hungry to do that, even though you were extremely gentle with him/her..........very cool indeed, and to have all the documentation makes it 100 times cooler still!

It was sooooooo awesome...I would love to see another one...but one a lifetime is good for me!

I believe it was a female...and that's even more of a reason to leave it be...I can always get one from a breeder...but that high black look was so cool!

-Rusty

I totally agree, and you did the right thing with it, and let her go along her merry way afterwards.

I wouldn't forget that experience as long as I lived either!

I did see a black racer cruise into a bush and fall to the ground soon after with a brown anole though..HAHAHAHAA!, hardly compares to yours..LOL!

Thomas my big ol muffin man, the only thing I want to be is with you

Listen up now, in daytona thu have this bar that supports folks like you and me. We can frolic in the sand and with a bunch of other guys just like us!! I'll even grow my beard if that's your thing, maybe get some of those fake hillbilly teeth, a nice pair of dirty over alls, cowboy hat; oh the good times we can have.

I'm not pretending anywhere to be tough or a know it but I do know I like it rough (if that's ok with you) and that we are meant to be together on the beach. Toes in the water, toes in the sand holding other hands!

Please don't talk about snake prices when my wife is around!!

He told me that he also likes to step on pissclams as he frolicks.......and wants to rub sand all over your a$$nik and whatnot......said he wants you to be "the jam in his jellyroll", whatever THAT means.

In Daytona I think I will host a Kingsnake forum posters lunch. At this lunch I will sit all you boys down at a table. And then I will circle the table and flick you in the ears when you get out of line.

hmmm, whats with the grudge?

Oh, couple fellahs on here can't see eye to eye on just about anything. My apologies for using your pic, which is awesome might I say, to try to alleviate some of their hostility towards each other. My apologies if I offended, that was not my intention.

Nice family bro. How do you like your FJR? I have been riding forever myself and had them all but I was looking to get one of those.

It's my 5th bike and it is awesome. I got it used and have had it since 06. It's a do it all bike. It's comfortable and still handles as well as a sportbike. In fact most of my friends ride crotch rockets and cannot keep up with me through the corners. I do a lot of 2 up riding and you don't even feel the passenger which is great. She is comfy on the back and doesn't have to lean forward. Best of all, DIY maintenance is very easy which can't be said of some of the other ST's like the C-14. I can't say enough good things about the bike. I ride the snot out of it and always get over 40mpg which gives me about a 250 mile cruise rang. Such a nice bike. I have a summer and a winter shield for it and that makes it perfect for any temps. Affordable used, too.

I am going to look into to one those again this spring. I too have had just about every kind of bike. Right now all I have is a 07' Suzuki 400 enduro. Great for road crusing snakes though!! I sorta have a wheelie problem too and need to get something heavier.LOL.

Haha you'll want to keep that one too it sounds fun, FJR sounds good for you, and yes, you can still wheelie with it if you'd like. Even better 'cause people don't expect the front end to come up on a shaft drive bike with bags!

Glad to see so much participation, guys (and gals)! Keep the photos coming - we've seen some great stuff so far.

Inge Hardwick (on the left) and my better half, Samantha (on the right):

Cole, don't give them a break for a photo. Get those women flippin all those rocks behind them!! LOL. Great thread brother.

Yeah, the pic's 15 years old: Terra's got her Masters and Jenna's in vet tech school. I'm retired, reluctantly, from the snake biz. And those eyebrows and mustache are gray now.

Brad,

I threw that up there on purpose and I can't believe nobody else caught it! Good on ya, man! I was hoping someone would ask about that "rainbow" stripe down the side! LOL I suppose nobody wanted to spend much time looking at my mug, so it all makes sense... LOL

-Cole

It's Oncorhynchus mykiss, now-a-days! With 12-14 subspecies (the various rainbow, golden, and redband trout).

-Cole

LOL-you're right-guess that ages me, huh. And I have the new book right over there on my shelf, so no excuse!
