Snake season begins
Okay so let's get y'all updated on what has been going on....
The trip with Jax Herp was a lot of fun but did not have much of a turn out, There was one cottonmouth and one water snake but that is about it for legitimate captures. There was a gator that was spotted very close to the camp, it was estimated at about four feet. I went in to try to catch it however, I could not get close enough so I enlisted the help of a jet ski to get to where it was, when I dove in after it, it had vanished and I was stranded in murky water knowing there was a gator somewhere near, talk about eerie!
All in all, it was a fun trip that was more focused around having fun than herping (not necessarily a bad thing). I am planning on doing some more hunting later this week (perhaps in Guana again) but there are no promises as the end of school brings many things to do that are keeping me plenty busy (thus the sporadic posts). The active weather that has been causing so much trouble near here should stir up some of the reptiles so I am eager to check it out. I will keep you as updated as I can.
Enjoy the warmth,
