    Hey Brian, I simply wanted to commend you on creating such a beautiful website. I am a fellow herper from Prescott Arizona, just up north from you. While others may not fully understand the amount of work that you do to get your fantastic shots I do. Some of the species you have photographed are very difficult to find and it is great you want to share your experience with everyone. Keep up the good work and happy herping!

    Thanks David! What do you primarily look for up there? I’ve found 2 cerbs in the area, but haven’t spent much time.

  3. David Allen says:

    Sorry for the misspelled name! There isn’t much moving right now as it is still pretty cool up here. Typically lots of cerbs and black-tails, gophers, and whips. Mt. king snakes are very nice in these parts as well. There are some great areas for interesting desert species just out of town, places you are probably familiar with based on your photos. How are things moving down your way? I will be down there for a couple of hours this weekend and am itching to find something. In a couple of weeks things should really be moving up here. Happy herping!

    Oh man I am slow to respond! Anyway, things are moving great. Pick any dirt road that goes through natural habitat in the daytime in the last two weeks of April and you’re guaranteed an atrox or two. I was out most of last week herping the flats West of Phoenix and found a lot of good stuff!

    Do you have a lot of success with cerbs? That’s a species I really want to try and find more of.
