Lunch Break Ride & Herp

So I rode to work and wanted to check out this pond for tadpole action...

There were tadpoles...

It's already June.

A few pics from the 1st. Summer is here.

Memorial Day Weekend Camping NorNev

Tom and Kris came out to Reno for a long weekend camping trip.

Here is Toyotathon in my driveway as we prepared to head out for 3 days in the NorNev back country.

More Snakes?

Yes, more. The gettin's been good and this road is five minutes from home so here we go, another three snake night.

This gopher was by far the largest specimen I have seen. I didn't take an actual measurement, but I would say 4.5' or more.

Snake Overload

So I went hiking in El Dorado county in a last ditch effort to get out and find some California Mountain Kingsnakes while spring weather was still in effect. Again I failed to turn up any zonata which is a real bummer since I know I was in the right place at the right time. However, I still enjoyed hiking around and I did have some luck overall in the snake department.

I got to my spot about 6:30am and within three rocks I flipped this nice boa.
