....Jeez I've been wanting to be able to make this post for 5+ years now...these just arent very easy to come by... & are even tuffer yet to maintain here in the SW!
Im surprised folks w/ ready access to worm/tantillas/etc havent taken a fancy to this Genera...easily the prettiest NA tri-color around!
I was incredibly positioned w/ camera already in hand...photo-documenting some obscure riparian flora I hadnt seen before...when I spied the deadliest of the desert herps...a vestige from 250+ million years ago when the land masses were one....& elapids roamed much of it...
Out from a flood debris pile it came...the second one surface active in daylight I've seen in some 25+ years of poking about...
Moving in for the macro...risking its loss under the algae & into some hole...
Always a treat....
