I thought I would start a thread on what people have caught or photographed in their natural habitats this year. I know I have a few to post.

I would LOVE to have a rubber boa. I would want one of those before any other snake. They are so cute and small!

Wisconsin Tree Frog

Here's a Wisconsin tree frog. I find 5-6 every year.



And what's amazing is they survive this.

This little girl is Sooo Cute!


looks kinda like a "blindschleiche", that we could find around my home in germany. exept blindschleichen are gunmetal gray (and they aren't even real snakes, they just look like them. they are some type of legless lizard). i'd want one of those little boas.
are they anywhere for sale maby?

found the english nam of blindschleiche

they call it blind worm or slow worm (it's neither blind nor slow). it's an anguis fragilis. and i think they are so cute. which would be easier to get a rubber boa are a anguis fragilis?

so the boa is easier to get here. oh well, i caught the anguis a few times when i was growing up, right in the back yard (but we always let them go the same day). no need to keep them, they were always found again.
