Puts them big rattlers to shame
NTD:
;D I don't, I guess it depends if you have any tatoos that might look good on a bow.
I don't mind sharing how I get the exotics though. I am a reptile keeper and am well connected in the reptile industry, at least locally. I have friends who are breeders, importers and store owners. I just put the word out to them that when they have animals die to let me know. I give them a few bucks to hold em in the freezer for me and I check in on them periodically to see what they have. That's how I get the exotics. I get a lot of native stuff too. A good night of road herping can yield a half dozen road killed snakes. Usually they are in pretty good shape. Most snakes when run over blow their guts out the cloaca, or maybe a side wall...Leaves most of the back intact. Sometimes they get more torn than that but I try to salvage what I can.

Timo:
Interesting stuff Nate! That thing you are holding one of those highly venomous lizards?
I just got a road kill timber rattler.Big and fat at the but,I figured she was full of babies,and she was 8 total.
NTD:
Dang your good Tim, Yep that is a Mexican Beaded lizard, it's one of only 2 venomous species of lizard in the world. But there are no documented deaths from these guys, Just wish you were dead kind of pain.
That's too bad the Timber didn't drop here young before she got hit. But good thing her skin won't go to waste. I like them timbers, someday I'll have to trade you for some.
Timo:
I guess the other would be the kamona?
Postman:
Wow - great setup NTD love that beaded liz. I had a decent herp room in college. Now I just have a coupla corns in my classroom. What's that mangrove snake lookin' boid? Doesn't look like a wild morph of anything I know, but I'm hazy on the australian ones.
