[quote]my corvette is best corvette because it was the only one they made with the Grand Sport package in Carlisle Blue with cobalt red interior on Wednesday, February 15, 2012[/quote] Even after I bought my ‘23 C8, I still missed my Sebring Orange ‘19 C7 Grand Sport. I’ve just never seen one in ...

[quote]Holy shite, glad he didn't tag you there. I've spent so much time in West Texas, I have seen hundreds of WDB but I have never seen a black-tailed rattlesnake, I guess I was just north of their range. [/quote] That one definitely could’ve tagged me more than once if he wanted to… but if he...

[quote]I would be so worried, that my kids, or I would not hear the rattle of the rattlesnake. It’s one of my biggest fears.[/quote] One of the black-tails I caught was under rocks and started rattling as I walked by. If he hadn’t, I never would’ve known he was there. [img]https://i.postimg.cc...

A few other assorted reptiles and amphibians (don’t hold me to these names - I don’t know my lizards/frogs that well). Great Plains skink (juvenile): [img]https://i.postimg.cc/Sxq28mYN/IMG-7172.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/HxJVHxR3/IMG-7173.jpg[/img] Great Plains skink (adult) [img]h...

So the trip began rather unceremoniously - my buddy and I arrived south of San Antonio a day before the rest of the guys to hit a road where my Floridian friend once caught 8 Western diamondback rattlers in one night. Unfortunately, storms hit the area right before we began, so the only snake of th...

[quote]Slidell is a meth town[/quote] I lived in Slidell for 17 years (moved in 2020) and still couldn’t tell you where the “bad” parts are. Slidell has lots of middle/upper middle class neighborhoods and a few full of $1mil+ homes. In the course of normal daily Slidellian activities, never did ...

I’m just kidding - just like people, some are nice and some are a-holes. 3 of the Western diamondbacks we caught were pissy, but the monster one didn’t rattle or strike a single time. The black-tailed rattlers tend to be more docile in general, but 3 of the 5 were easy to handle....

Meh…I catch them bigger in Texas. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/sXyqQ0t7/IMG-7047.jpg[/img]...

[quote]I realize they’re not venomous but did you happen to run across a Texas Indigo while you were around San Antonio?[/quote] Cruised a road at night in their area but they are found more often in the morning, and usually in cooler months....

Drove without a license plate to West Texas for 10 days to catch rattlesnakes. Traded in the Vette for a new Bronco a month ago in Mississippi (I live in La.), and they don’t give temporary tags. In my short time there, I was pulled over 3 times and on another occasion was followed by Border Patrol ...
