A recent post on FHF got me looking for an old pic and in the process I came across some of my old pics that I hadn't looked at in years.
Here's one of a milk I found in a rock in NE/MO back in 2002. I call it "Hole milk" 
OK, let's see some of your favorites and I'll post more of mine too.
I'm sure I have some to dig up. I'll get them up soon. The Hole Milk is awesome!
This is a pic of an inter-grade milk from IL. I found the parents locked up under a rock and the female laid something like 13 eggs.
Here's a copper head from Mo. This is perhaps the best looking copper i've ever found. This thing glowed on the road! 
This is the smallest box turtle I have ever seen; I nearly stepped on the little guy.
How about a Kansas timber... This was found with ChadKS probably around 04 or 05
Red milk from KS. It thought it was bad! 
This little beauty was found in a pile of shingles in Mo.
Brad says shingles are a waste of time. 
I also have a pic of it eating a skink that was found a couple of shingles away from it. I dangled the skink in front of it and it took it out of my hand. I'll see if I can find that pic.
Here it is...
My son Jacob catching his first snake, an earth snake cruised in Mo. He was like 2 at the time.
This one is for Brad, I don't think he believes me about how big the milks get in MO.
Me about 15 years ago with a bull/gopher cross. Gotta love the flat top! 
That thing was over 5' long and hissed ALL THE TIME; it made Dayna nervous. She wad delighted when I got rid of it!
Obviously not found in the field but still a cool pic. I belongs to my friend Rob Carmichael in Chicago.
This thing was nuts and took Rob forever to get it settled down and hooded up. I was knelt down in front of it taking the pic and somewhere between shooting and standing it struck and me. I don't know how close it got because all I saw was the head pulling back, but it couldn't have missed me by more than inches!
Way back when we had a similar thread. However, there were only a few that posted. We may have gotten a little carried away, lol. Some of the pics are long gone due to deletion on photobucket and such, but some are still there.......

I herp alone on occasion, but to me, there are few things better than hitting the field or the roads with friends. I have had some amazing times with these guys over the years.
Herping with my buddy Bart (Renobart on FHF) one day back in CA. I got him on his lifer Northern Pacific rattler (Crotalus oreganus) that day (which is that little turd thing at the end of my hook. hahaha)
Shooting a Northwestern salamander (Ambystoma gracile) in the coastal redwoods of Northern California with Sumeet and my little herping prodigy, Austin. 
Fellow herper and one of my best friends, Chad M. Lane and I shooting a large Sonoran whipsnake I caught in Arizona in April.
Chad and I again, this time shooting a juvenile Northern Pacific in Northern California.
Arizona in April. L to R - Devlin Espeleta, Me, Ricky Ortiz and his gf Amy (they like bugs...), and my good friend John Worden. 
Chad and I shooting my lifer Greater short horned lizard (Phrynosoma hernandesi) in Southeast Arizona. (It's the little orange dot... haha)
Me shooting my lifer Greater short horned lizard, as seen by Chad through 20mm of glass.
And the result of me shooting said Phryno...
Arboreal salamander I found and the first documented case of them biting someone... (my friend Shannon took the hit)
A day of captures, relocations, teaching, and taking tissue samples of C. oreganus. This is a gorgeous, gravid female that I relocated from a friend's parents property before they killed it. (My blinding farmer's tan is no longer an issue. Hahaha)
Time to post some herps!
Lifer Mohave green (Crotalus scutalatus)
Mohave shovelnose (Chionactis occipitalis occipitalis)
Baby chuckwalla!! (Sauromalus ater)
Mountain patchnose (Salvadora grahamiae grahamiae)
Chad and his lifer Chuck that took us a while to catch
Tucson banded gecko (Coleonyx variegatus bogerti)
Coral cobra (Aspidelaps lubricus) that I had the privilege of working with earlier this year.
The makeshift setup I threw together to shoot it... You can tell how small it is. That's a normal deli cup lid to the right of the rocks...
Southern torrent salamander (Rhyacotriton variegatus) - one of the least common sallies in California
I have more but I think I'm gonna stop here for now. haha
A few of my favorites.
I chased this little one around this rock for about 10 minutes before it finally posed for me.
This Spring Salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyrictus) did not want to be photographed. Found it in the Smoky Mountains.
These next two were practically begging for me to take their picture. Their eyes are so cool to me.

Huge broad head skink I found a few years back while geocaching. I think it was like 11"
Check out the girth on this thing!
