Seminar, the girl speaks; semen hour, the boys have other things on their minds--not me, not my research, not anything I can figure out. They didn't read my data and ask questions of each other as if I am not in the room--and I slowly shrink behind my coffee cup and peer out from around the side to observe without interrupting the important conversations taking place around me during MY seminar.
OK, that's my nightmare image--seminar is not until Friday and there will be beer--so it's cool

That's really interesting! What's their main homeland? Just a single body of water? Or will they travel into new territory? I've never really looked into salamanders or amphibians that much in general. I did have a small group of dendrobates and mantellas for a while. But keeping flies is just a pain.
I found some good info about studying Timbers in PA. The game commision here has a tagging and tracking program. I printed out the permit to hunt and study Timbers. I'm kind of leery about getting it though. There are someplaces I know of dens that I don't think others know of. And I'd rather keep it that way. When people around here find out that I'm into snakes and I go out looking for rattlers they wanna know where I go. I never tell anyone. Next thing ya know people are crashing all through these places and someone will get bit or the snakes will start being shy. One place I go to, the snakes never really see anyone. I sat for a longtime and watched a huge female yellow phase and about 40 babies for about an hour. She never moved except to keep up with the sun. Watched me the whole time, but never rattled or went away. It was amazing!
Sorry got kind of long winded there.
