"New" from the US

Hello folks,

I'm an 18 year old kid just starting a BSc biology at the University of Wageningen. I lived in the US (southeast Texas) from my 11th till July 1st of this year. I have tentative plans to move back next year, so I wanna knock out every Dutch herp while I'm here. I'm well over half way done in the three months I've been here. I'll post a handful of selected herp photos from North America for my intro. When I get done editing some pics I'll start posting some of my Dutch finds as well!

Bothrops asper

Image

Plethodon jordani

Image

Alligator mississippiensis

Image

Pseudacris fouquettei

Image

Elgaria coerulea

Image

Apalone mutica

Image

Hyla versicolor

Image

Crocodylus acutus

Image

Eurycea wildera

Image

Malaclemys terrapin

Image

Ophisaurus attenuatus

Image

Micrurus tener


Image

I kept it short with two frogs, snakes, lizards, turtles, salamanders, and crocodilians, since this is a Euro forum!

Cheers,

Matthijs

Welcome Matthijs! I recognised quite a few of your shots from FHF - absolutely great stuff!
I think nobody around here really minds to see non-European pictures (or at least I don't ;) ).

Houston, TX. I haven't seen too many rattlesnakes. I actually struck out on ever finding my own live Timber Rattlesnake, which bummed me out. Here are some though.

Crotalus atrox, eastern edge of range.

Image

Crotalus molossus

Image

Crotalus horridus

Image

Image

Sistrurus miliarius streckeri

Image

Crotalus lepidus

Image

Honestly, I got some more atrox pictures, but that's about it for me with rattlesnakes.
