TONIGHT’S SPEAKER
-
Tonight’s
speaker is Bob
Ashley from Michigan. Bob
and his wife Sheri love field herping in Arizona, so much so that they’re in
the process of moving there and opening a living herp museum in the
southeastern corner of that state. Every
one of their dozens of trips to the Sonoran Desert have involved field herping
and photographing the wildlife. Bob’s
special interest is rattlesnakes, and especially those of the famous ‘Sky
Islands’ – forested tops of mountain ranges having unique herps isolated on
them as if they lived on moist islands in the desert.
His slides will take us all over the state – including the deserts too
– and show us the spectacularly diverse herpetofauna inhabiting the Grand
Canyon State. If Arizona isn’t
already your dream place to go herping in the U.S., it will be after this
presentation !
WHO'S INVITED ? You are! Anyone with an interest in any aspect of herpetology or herpetoculture is welcome to attend, learn, and exchange their experiences with our friendly membership. Come out to meet others who keep, breed or study reptiles and amphibians, and let them share their fascination with you. We average 35 – 70 people attending every meeting.
Cookies and cold soda, a nightly raffle of live herps, herp products, and books follow each speaker's talk, and lots of herp camaraderie, gossip, and fun can be counted upon at all meetings !
