    Cool you got to hang with Eric in Houston, that's where Joe F. is living these days. Still cool to see a buttermilk, even though it was waaaay up there. I used to live in DC back in the day, dad worked in the Pentagon.

      Yes sadly they have closed. From Facebook a year ago .. To all, it is with a heavy heart that we announce MToxins Venom Lab and the Jack Facente serpentarium will be ceasing operations of our storefront, with our last day open to the public on Sunday, May 28th.
      It has been an incredible number of years educating the public and getting to touch the community in the manner we have, and we are forever grateful to the Oshkosh and surrounding communities for their support.
      We are so proud to have made so many wonderful memories with you all and are eternally grateful.
      Hours of operation will remain the same with our last admission taking place at 3pm on the 28th

    @stefanostokatlidis4861 3 месяца назад

    Those habitats with greenery and water may be very beautiful and relaxing, but they are terrible for herping, unless you are of the fewer but natural ideology. You need to walk carefully and observe, and still many animals remain camouflaged. In case of animals being spotted, they still have all the advantages to their side and can bolt quickly. Those places remind me of some areas in northern Greece and most of Central Europe. Nothing beats a warm dusty junkyard, where you can flip stuff and catch them unprepared. Nice water snakes and birds though.

    Hey Lou, I live in the Bay Area and I’ve recently gotten more into snake hunting and was wondering if you had any advice on finding them. Like, what are the best ways to find a snake out on the crawl? Also, what is the best time to flip boards and at what temperature? I heard summer makes it worse for board flipping because of the heat. Thank you!

      @@loub747 Thank you for answering. Dulles is pretty far from DC. I'd call it Snakes in Virginia or Snakes in DC's Suburbs instead of in Washington, DC. Many people refer to the parts of Virginia and Maryland that border DC as being in DC which can be very confusing. Being a native of DC, I'd be curious about the snakes here. Maybe you can visit Rock Creek Park sometime and talk about the snakes here.
