"New" from the US

[Matthijs Hollanders]

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



Plethodon jordani



Alligator mississippiensis



Pseudacris fouquettei



Elgaria coerulea



Apalone mutica



Hyla versicolor



Crocodylus acutus



Eurycea wildera



Malaclemys terrapin



Ophisaurus attenuatus



Micrurus tener



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

Cheers,

Matthijs

Wow, great photos! Welcome - you will undoubtedly learn many new things here. Hope to see more of your photos in the future - both Euro & American!

[Andre Schmid]

Uh, great Photos, welcome !

The wide angle Pics are really great, I like

[Jürgen Gebhart]

Welcome! Awesome shots!

Have you ever seen a rattlesnake?

southeast Texas, Where?

[Jeroen Speybroeck]

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 ).

[Mario Schweiger]

I hope you will not forget this "euro-Forum" when you will be back in the US and stll post some pics of the herps there

Thank you. Here are some.

Holbrookia maculata ruthveni. Note the white coloration to match the White Sands.



Agkistrodon contortrix



Desmognathus monticola

Welcome! Awesome shots!

Have you ever seen a rattlesnake?

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.





Crotalus molossus



Crotalus horridus





Sistrurus miliarius streckeri



Crotalus lepidus



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