Come on Mitch, is that all you got? LOL. Well, you know how I feel about those snakes. Simply awesome. AND---guess what, I have pneumonia TOO!!! Great isn't it. Second time for me in two months. Wish I had the animals to make a post like that while I am recovering!! I will give you a call tomorrow. Feel better and Merry Christmas!!

Mitch,
What an amazing arrray of Zonata! They are seriously the most beautiful snake species! The high black multicincta are killer!
Great San Mateo finds! I am still setting up boards after boards in San Mateo...fingers crossed for Spring!

Couldn't you find anything more productive to do?! Ha ha ha! Just kidding, buddy. I'm glad you took the time to post this up and share it with us - phenomenal group of animals. While it sucks that you're stuck at home sick, at least WE get something out of it!

Here's hoping the holidays treat you and the family well, Mitch!

Amazing photographs! I love the high black and white contrast Mitch!

Here's some old photos:

I'll never forget it!
