Celebrities

Many of you have probably heard of most of these people.  When you watch their shows, you see a lot of crazy antics and it's easy to see they are passionate about their jobs, and are having fun.  While what they are doing IS fun, keep in mind that for most of us, what they are doing is ILLEGAL--most states and countries have numerous regulations governing what you can and can't do regarding herps.  Celebrities can often get special permits for these shows due to the exposure the shows generate for tourism and conservation efforts.  ALWAYS CONSULT LOCAL REGULATIONS before herping!

 

Dr. Brady Barr on the National Geographic Channel.
Jeff Corwin yet another Animal Planet guy; doesn't deal solely with herps but does feature them quite a bit.
Steve Irwin ("The Crocodile Hunter") of Animal Planet fame.  Love him or hate him, you have to admire his enthusiasm!
Mark O'Shea another Animal Planet guy ("O'Sheas Big Adventure"); pretty neat site.
Austin Stevens:  Snakemaster ANOTHER Animal Planet guy.

 

Discussion Forums

These sites feature message boards for discussion of recent finds, methods, equipment, ethics, etc.  There are other sites out there, some region-specific, but I usually just browse and post on these:

 

Field Herpers excellent forum where participants post pics of their finds.  Regulation is almost nonexistent (by design) so anticipate some heated debate! 
FieldHerpForum discussion board plus pages of habitat pictures.
Herp-Pix Yahoo group.
Kingsnake.com Field Notes & Observations Moderated, so sometimes posts are capriciously deleted.  Really!  They have a strict Terms of Service agreement which apparently I've violated from time to time.

 

Personal Pages

Some of these people are personal friends.  Some are people from the above-named discussion groups.  Others are sites I stumbled across, and others are reciprocal links of people who found my site first!  When I first created my site in 1997, I thought I was the only person doing what I was doing (posting pics of herping adventures online).  The Internet has shown otherwise, and it has given me the opportunity to herp new areas and meet new people.
