Summer 2002

The summer of 2002 I spent living and working in the Everglades.  I loved it and it was a blast.  The Green Anaconda in the photo below was not caught in the wild (obviously).  It belongs to a friend of mine who got it at Glades Herp.  Everything else is wild.

I didn't have a true "quest" for the summer like the past two summers but I was still dedicated to finding some cool herps.  I have found soo many cool reptiles and amphibians out in the Everglades but I can't put them all up on the site because there are just too many and I didn't take my camera very many places with me since humidity kills camera equipment.
