SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
I traveled to SoCal to hang out with Jim Bass. Here's a striped Western Fence Lizard on the railing.

Jim can catch turtles.

Melanistic Red-eared Slider.

Flame Skimmer.

Baja Treefrog.

Everyone loves gigantic Jerusalem Crickets.

I caught this fine looking Gopher Snake.

Solifuges were seen on night hikes.

A Western Toad with some nice color and pattern.
