On tuesday I found this coral about 5 miles from my house while road cruising. What a rush, I've worked with these in captivity but to find one out in the wild. Ahh yes, it's the little things in life. Unfortunately, this was the only shot I could get off before he shot towards the grass. Given it was dark out and I cold hardly see it, tailing it for a few more pics didn't seem to weigh out. Anyone who is familiar with corals knows they dont take well to hooks.

I found this guy about 3 miles from where the coral was today. He was bunking with a 3.5 ft green garter(I don't know the subspecie) I'm still am hyped up about it. He's about 4.5-5 ft and quite friendly, aside from some initial huffing and puffing. He doesn't seem to mind handling at all. I almost didn't go hunting today,, whew, close one. Too bad I couldn't get a pic of the garter too. And for everyone that hates collection, I collected it. Nag all you want, I'm to busy enjoying my new beauty to care.

Big bulls and pines are such fun snakes to work with. I've got a couple of bulls that are day and night. The younger cb is a demon that'll hiss and strike at will. The older wc is as tame as a puppy dog unless there's a rodent around. Anway enjoy.
