Nicholas, 17, took his first solo herp trip. CO to AZ to CA. Made it 1,500 miles. Did some field herping in Arizona and CA, found some banded rock rattlesnakes, whipsnakes, kingsnakes, ringnecks, rattlesnakes and more.

Had a few folks who weren't too fond of our decision to let him take this trip at age 17. Nicholas earned this trip. He's volunteered at the local zoo for the past 4 years (doing it again for his 5th year) logging 800 volunteer hours doing all kinds of jobs. He also worked at a local grocery store earning money for a car and this trip. He's been driving on back roads since age 13, so he's probably logged at least 200 hours of driving prior to this trip. Since age 3, he's been field herping with me and understands clearly the safety factors involved in this hobby. His outdoor skills with regards to camping and being in nature are second to none. Respect is earned, not given. He earned this trip.

Field herping in CO and Kansas during 2012. Eastern Hognose, Black Rat Snakes, Timber Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, Wormsnakes, Snapping Turtle, Horned Lizard, Milksnakes, Coachwhips, and much more.

The western slope of Colorado has some interesting reptiles and amphibians. It gets pretty toasty in the day, so the lizards come out to play.

Bullsnake bite drew blood as Nicholas tried to move him from the middle of the road. These guys usually bluff, but this one chomped down on his hand and wouldn't let go. He also coiled around his arm. Everytime he moved to uncoil the snake, it would bite. Fun times.Saved it from being smushed by a semi a few mintues later.

We usually never have a problem with moving a non venomous snake off the road. In fact, this is the first bullsnake that's ever done something like this.

Just some field herping in New Mexico. We traveled to southern NM in June, temps ranged from 110-120 in the day which made for some tough herping. Still managed to scrounge up a few herps.

#SnakeRoad #Tonsofsnakes #herping Took a herp trip to Snake Road in Illinois to meet up with others #herpers from all over the United States and Canada to see the #snakemigration. Very cool to see old friends and meet some new ones.

EXAMPLE of what your video might contain: I live in a big city here in Colorado, but 10 minutes from my house is an open space with a few ponds and wetland areas. You can hear the roar of traffic from a nearby interstate as you walk along the grassy trails. The normal person wouldn't have a clue that we've found fireflies, snapping turtles, huge carp, beavers, chorus frogs, two kinds of garter snakes, bullsnakes, racers, bats, painted turtles, foxes, owls, swallows, muskrats, herons, deer and coyotes. I think it's pretty cool that there is so much wildlife in a urban area like this. My spot is cool because it's surrounded by interstates and big buildings. Plus. there are man-made forts along the trails in case it rains. If you came to my big city, I could show you all kinds of critters you probably wouldn't believe lived so close to a big city like mine. It's a special place to us because we can always find some type of animal when we walk out there.

Oh? And there's a bonus question: Which video of mine are there 3 box turtles under once piece of tin? Include the name of my video in your video at the end. If you're correct, this will increase your chances of winning.

By entering this contest, you agree to the rules and general guidelines listed in the description section.

Good Luck!
