Reptile & Amphibian Forums

These Drymobius are restricted to a very small range all the way south in Texas, mostly in a wildlife sanctuary! .. plus they are a protected species. But the people that run the place are not anti-herper and as long as you go there and obey the rules HANDS OFF, NO FLIPPING, NO OFF TRAIL ACTION then you'll be ok.
.
Unfortunately a few people have come in thinking the rules are not for them and it's caused some trouble.
.
Anyway, it's possible to get detailed photos of these without disturbing them.

You simply couldn't post pictures of those often enough imo!

Thanks for sharing them again

Absolutely beautiful. It seems like a pretty willing model in some of the pics. Thanks for posting.

There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. The ignorant can be taught, stupidity is beyond our control.
