Meet The Beetle
I used German engineering to take me on a 2,000 mile quest for herps - encompassing Nevada, Arizona and California. After checking in my hotel at 8:00PM, I hit the road and went cruising in Searchlight, looking for snakes. 
| It's Been A Long, Long, Long Time... ...that I've been looking for the first herp I came across (something I've never seen in the wild before) - a Longnose Snake. These snakes are considered to be relatives of Kingsnakes and sometimes have a similar pattern as California Kings. They are usually about three feet long. Click here to see another pic 
Faded Snake
| This Glossy Snake was found not long after the Longnose. These snakes are efficient burrowers and very secretive. They come out at night to hunt for lizards, which they often dig up while the lizards are sleeping. Old reptile books refer to Glossy Snakes as "Faded Snakes," due to their obscure pattern.

Daytripper
| In the daytime other types of herps can be found in Searchlight. 
Searchlight Sideblotch
| Sideblotched Lizards were found in every location I visited. They are small, common, and males can be rather colorful. 
Counting Sheep
| Bighorn Sheep can often be seen high on rocky mountains, but they come down to eat and drink in the morning and evening. 
Lightning Fast Lizard
| Zebratail Lizards are extraordinarily quick and tolerant of very high temperatures. 
Turtle In Trouble
| Desert Tortoises have lived in the southwest since the Pleistocene (with Mammoths, Saber Tooth Tigers and Giant Sloths). But they are currently listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. Click here to see another pic |
