Arizona, April 2005 - Photo Gallery

We spent several days in southern Arizona looking for herps. We spent a day with a group of researchers from the University of Arizona radio-tracking Gila Monsters and Western Diamondback rattlesnakes.

Typical Gila and rattler habitat

Our first Western Diamondback quickly retreated from his morning basking position when he realized we had discovered him.

Michelle and I head out by ourselves to explore the Chiricahua Mountains.
