This page was formed just to share photos that I have taken on various reptile excursions.  It is something new that I decided to add right before the start of the cool season. Look for more pics and adventures to be posted here in the future. 

The following pictures were taken on an Indian reservation which was located just outside of Parker Arizona. I would like to thank Willie an elder / Indian reservation game warden for giving us permission to explore and photograph the following desert critters.

This is a sidewinder rattlesnake that was shy and didn't want his photo taken.

Here is another sidewinder rattlesnake that didn't mind the spotlight.

Here is another sidewinder. I decided to put a quarter next to it in order to give you a size comparison. This is a full grown snake with a deadly bite.

This nasty little scorpion was grumpy and wouldn't cooperate with standing next to the quarter. It was probably close to 5 inches in length. 

Ok, I'm totally not into bugs, but this tarantula was way cool. It let me get my picture and then went about it's business. Again, I placed a quarter next to him to show his size.

Here is yet another sidewinder rattlesnake. These were the only snakes found on our adventure. We were told that gila monsters, coral snakes, and speckled rattlesnakes are common here. Maybe next time we will have the luck of locating one of these colorful reptiles.

Legless lizard, Sun Valley, CA

Above is a nice Alligator Lizard that I found while doing some snake fencing in Thousand Oaks, Ca.

Here is a Glossy snake that I found on Sidewinder Road in Yuma Arizona 7-02-2005, at 5 A.M.

Here's another angle of Glossy. This snake had alot of peach color in it, and was very non-aggressive.

Here is a Banded Gecko that I found, it too was located in Yuma, on Sidewinder road.

Here is another shot of the little guy/ gal. Sorry not to have better shots. Believe it or not, the little buggers are fast, and don't want to hang around. 

Here is a Night snake that a customer brought us in a cup from Antelope Valley. She thought it was a baby rattlesnake, but after learning it wasn't, she took the snake home and re-released it :)

Thanks again Jeff, for bringing to our attention the previous mis-identification of this snake.

The reptiles that we photograph are never taken or handled. We believe the picture flash to be enough stress for the reptiles to have to deal with.
