I love horned lizards, but since they seem to do horribly in captivity I got this instead:

I fill my love by finding them in the field. I found 30ish last year (photo'd 25 or so). Here's the first one from this year:

in theory, we get modestum too (I'm in the panhandle) but I've never found one, nor do I know anyone in the panhandle that's found one here.

We wouldn't have 6 and a half billion people if you had to be beautiful to get laid.
1.3 African House Snakes
3.2 reticulated pythons
1 corn snake
4.3 Florida Kings
2 speckled kings
1.2 ball pythons
1 Argentine boa
1 Texas Rat Snake
1 checkered garter snake

Nice P.cornutum. Must be nice to see so many. There are a few locals in AZ where these guys are quite abundant.
They are difficult in captivity, but they can do well if you put the time and learning into their care.
Regarding modestum, my experience is that they will tend to be at and slightly up the bases of the hills surrounding valleys where you might find cornutum. They love to bask on rocks in the morning sun.
