Our trip to the San Jose Reptile show, August 9, 2008. I got to meet lots of new people, stayed to chat with old friends, and see lots of great animals. Have a look!
One of my visits to the Great Valley Serpentarium in Lodi, Ca. Bill Gillingham has a variety of reptiles and other creatures on display and for purchase. His facility is free to visit, and I enjoy popping in from time to time to see what's new. Stop by and check it out if you're in Northern California.
A common species often encountered along hiking and bike trails in Northern California. I found this individual behind Pacific Union College in the Napa valley.
