Funny you mention that, Dave -- I wasn't sure either so I made it a point to look the word up before posting. Stupid english language . . . good thing . . . nobody . . . ever . . . corrects me . . . on punctuation:.!?^^><{ Incidentally, I published the video if anyone cares to view it. I...

Wet, watery, and densely woody. If what you say is true, my guess is right. And yeah--he was adorable. Like a ferret, but he didn't poop on my rug.

Found this little guy munching on a freshly killed fieldmouse today . . . it was amazing. I knew weasels were fast, but this thing was unreal--and smart, too. He was curious enough to keep checking me out, but had the whole area mapped in his head . . . he dashed down one hole and popped out...

i'd say a partial whale scapula judging from size and location . . . only thing is i see no socket . . . my money is on some whale bone, though. cool find.

MBD (metabolic bone disease) is a common problem in captive hatchling turtles. because of the shell and incredible growth rate, calcium needs are extremely high, but without real sunlight (real UV), reptiles can't properly metabolize calcium nomatter how much they ingest. as a complicating...

thus making the red-eared slider one of the most widely introduced species in the world. a nice picture from 2005 in NJ: in case anyone was questioning it . . . no, they're not native here.

I've also been down that path of internet research on bogs . . . it has yet to bear fruit, but i also haven't dug in really deep in a year or two. I've seen the info you're talking about . . . it goes as specific as municipalities but no more, and I'm certain alot of those historic populations...

Nice! Looks like a good day . . . hopefully we'll all be having alot more of them soon! That first pic looks familiar . . . birch grove?

Haha . . . I deserved that.

nice find! i was so close to going to double trouble today, too . . .

See--i've been trying to convince the state for years that any problem CAN be solved by shooting it. Hopefully they'll figure it out soon and hold an open season on idiots.

Yeah it'd be best if you answered that question with a pm. Bog turtles (more than any endangered animal i can think of) have the most to lose by having their locations disclosed to the public, and these forums are HIGHLY searchable. Also remember, bog turtles and spotteds can be easily...

I like the last line: “Do I say it would be helpful to have mountain lions around?” Cramer said. “If you have a species like that coming back, that introduces its own problems in terms of relating to human beings.” In addition to all the specifically human-faulted problems, we're missing...

i would have done the same thing. i find it very likely that i'll be beaten up by douchey rednecks at some point because of a turtle or snake . . .

Thanks everybody! I've really been trying to improve the quality of the photos I take . . . only problem is that since now i'm able to take much better pictures, it makes all my old ones look horrible by comparison. Now I have the task of re-photographing everything I've ever seen . ...

So here's what i got: Plenty of peepers: Wood Frogs American Toads LOTS of spotted salamanders (which i love) Two four-toed salamanders . . . not too easy to find . . . and a few pickerel frogs--including this excellently colored specimen: We also headed...

Its that time again!! Peepers are out and NJ is FINALLY coming to life . . . which means the breeding migration is just about to happen. Tonight should be the night throughout the state--if it already hasn't happened. If its raining where you live and you know of a good vernal pool . . . make...

I agree with you on the long-term scale. Most definatly things will rebound--eventually. But i don't have many many years to wait before I can make money. I need to make money april 16th. and that silent majority doesn't affect my bar. our smoking section is tiny (compared to non-smoking)...

You aren't forced. You can drink at home. And people breathing in smoke is good for me. it pays my bills. on april 15th NJ establishments everywhere will open doors to finicky non-tipping pains in the ass who head out to a restaraunt or bar once in a blue moon. they are simultaneously...
