SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
I traveled to SoCal to hang out with Jim Bass. Here's a striped Western Fence Lizard on the railing.

Jim can catch turtles.

Melanistic Red-eared Slider.

Flame Skimmer.

Baja Treefrog.

Everyone loves gigantic Jerusalem Crickets.

I caught this fine looking Gopher Snake.

Solifuges were seen on night hikes.

A Western Toad with some nice color and pattern.

One day we visited San Bernadino County.

I found this "lifer" San Diego Alligator Lizard.

We checked out this creek.

Southern Pacific Rattlesnake.

Side-blotched Lizard.

I found this "lifer" Two-striped Garter Snake.

I also found this "lifer" California Mountain Kingsnake.

We also came across this juvenile.

Close-up of the third king found that day.

A full-body shot of the same snake.

The next day we visited Riverside County.

I caught this "lifer" Granite Spiny Lizard.

It was an awesome adventure.
