Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into those.

I just got back from a quick overnight backpacking trip and I tore a huge hole in my pack. I don't think I'm going to be able to repair it. It was an Alps Cascade that I had for years. I liked some things about it, but not others, but it got the job done. Now I'm looking to upgrade. I'm looking...

Great shots! Love the coachwhip photo. I believe your mojave rattlesnake is a western diamondback. The last photo is a good way to id them. Mojaves will have 2 large scales between their supraoculars, where western diamondbacks will have 4 or more. The white and black bands on their tails can...

I've heard some pretty interesting theories out there of what it could be

About a week ago, I spent the weekend down in the Swell hiking and visiting some rock art sites. A re-visit for me was the Black Dragon Wash Panel. I'm sure most, if not everyone, is familiar with this site and the "dragon" pictograph. Black Dragon Wash Panel by Rye Jones, on Flickr But what...

Great shot of the frog calling! Love hearing their calls echo through the canyons.

Nice looking gopher snake and side-blotched lizards :twothumbs: Those lizard shots are great! Bull snakes are actually a subspecies of gopher snakes that occur east of the Rockies.

Oh, I was just assuming it was in Utah... its an orange-headed spiny lizard

Sorry just saw this. Depends on where you saw it...but as Miss Buffalo said it looks like a desert spiny lizard or more specifically the orange-headed spiny lizard-Sceloporus magister cephaloflavus. If you were in Washington county it would be the Yellow-backed Spiny Lizard-Sceloporus uniformis...
