West Coast Posters, Where Are You?

Ameron Mar 27, 2005 12:35 PM

The East Coast persons are "showing us up" each week with their field trips, photos & such. Their Herp community & networks are well established. We can learn from them.

Where are the Cal King, Desert King and Mexican Black posts? We have larger regions and many deserts for our herping trips. (I do not yet have a digital camera, but when I do, photos of my 60-gallon Mojave Desert vivarium will "blow away" most of the other posts!)

***************************************************************
Let's dazzle them with photots of our Mojave & Sonoran deserts.

I'd like to see much more West Coast action from Herpers. West Coast - let us organize & contribute!

Here's one and I think you're right. Thanks to all the Eastern king posters here, I actually like them now. lol

Replacing my computer and paying down credit card debt are my financial priorities now.

(Especially after spending $73 for a Veterinarian when my Cal King was regurgitating, only to discover that nothing was wrong and that had I waited another few days everything would have been fine and I would have saved $73!!!)

Until I can justify buying a digital camera, since I need a computer replacement much more, I'll continue trying to borrow one.

Just wait until you see the spring with fan palm, hollow brush pile, sand hill, 3 levels of climbing branches, covered den, rock ledge, tunnel, Calcite crystal that looks like a Cholla clump, large obsidian rock, and natural, cistern-looking water dish!

My vivarium is really quite artistic, I've never seen a nicer desert setup. Some of the rocks or wood pieces are fossils from the Grand Tetons; some are from along the Columbia River; some are from beaches on the OR coast. Two of the rocks still having living lichen colonies from their original locations - one from the Sawtooth Mountains of ID. One chunk of light-colored "rock" is actually petrified wood.
