    Scarlet or Eastern? Or both?

    :ninja: I have never found them in the same spot while under cover (as in the same board, tin etc.). The same general area is a definate though. Some of the milks in the most southern parts of the state or more orange.

    Scarlet or Eastern? Or both?

    Yes I do. I'll dig out the disc and get them loaded within the next few days.

    Scarlet or Eastern? Or both?

    Kyle, I've seen some coastals that match a maryland animals in looks or very close to it. It seems like they vary in color and appearance in NJ more so than animals from other states. I've seen about 12-15 coastals in the last two years (non yet this year). There is a trick to finding them that...

    Bear shot in Essex County today :(

    :bear: I'm not sure we're not rushing to judgment here. If any of you know the area this bear was seen in then it may make sense. There is not a patch of woods anywhere and chances are it will be forced into contact with humans. Not a good situation at all. I'm all for the bear getting a fair...

    Timber Rattler Behavior

    No problem Bob. I once was "observed" freeing a box turtle that was stuck in the mud on a horse trail because a horse stepped on it and drove it deep into the mud. The game officer told me that I was technically in violation to do so but under the circumstances he would let me slide with just a...

    Timber Rattler Behavior

    Bob, be very careful what you say. The state probably monitors this site and unfortunately they have "harrassment" policies that they will try to use to "harrass" (lol) people. It's not fair but it's true.:words:

    herpetologists

    I'm not sure where the best place to attend would be. Rutgers used to be good for herpetology. The professors name way back in the 70's to 80's was Daniel Wilhoft. I'm sure he's long retired by now. You may want to re-think your stand on the money aspect. If you like to herp as you say then it...

    herpetologists

    Your looking at at least eight years of college for a degree in "herpetology". Your probably better off with a biology degree as that will get you into field work. Don't look to make big money as a herpetologist unless you use the degree to teach or manage an institution of some type or as a...

    Potential adventure for Bobbleton or others

    If your talking about Echo Lake in NJ it's probably not anywhere near Jackson. There is an Echo Lake off Rt.22 (Scotch Plains). It's actually called Echo Lake Park.

    Snake Dens Disturbed

    I know the area well. It's usually monitored by the state. They were so worried about the location that they even chained it off so vehicles could not drive in. What a shame.:(

    Bad legislation

    That's good to know. I need to look into Foremost. Thanks.:)

    Bad legislation

    It all depends on where you live. Rider Ins. Co. is the biggest and about the cheapest but it depends on where you live within the state and the bike type. Two are sport bikes and they are the most expensive to insure averaging about $800 each.:(

    Bad legislation

    Bruset, your right on about the subject. And if the amount to insure the atv would be around $100 that's a deal. I pay over $2000 to insure four motorcycles so that would be a deal.

    ATV rider shot in North Jersey!

    It seems to fishy to be justified. Especially when the police are also looking into the matter with doubt. It's the officers job to be certain that a person is armed before shooting that individual.:ninja:

    ATV rider shot in North Jersey!

    I'm glad too. Only god knows what could have happened if everyone was on dirt bikes. All kidding aside it seems that these people are being singled out because they are "different" than others in that they try to keep to themselves ala Ruby Ridge. It would be nice to know exactly what law he...

    ATV rider shot in North Jersey!

    :bang: The point is that if he was unarmed it's not a justifiable shooting. It also seems that the police are swaying that way too. If you have some new information that says he was armed please present it as there is nothing as of yet to say otherwise.

    ATV rider shot in North Jersey!

    I doubt he was armed. It has not been reported that he was in any news yet. If he was armed I'm sure it would be reported.

    ATV rider shot in North Jersey!

    :mad: Since it's illegal to carry a firearm in a national park the j@ck@ss knew there wouldn't be any return fire. How convenient.:jeffd:

    help with a hognose

    Your best bet is to attend one of the reptile shows in Pa. and aquire a captive bred western hognose if your interested in hognose snakes. They readily feed on mice.:cool:
