Kansas, May of 2006

I went out to western and central Kansas in late spring of 2006 in search of collared lizards, prairie rattlesnakes, massassaugas, and bullsnakes. Unfortunately, only collared lizards were seen alive. The trip was not spectacular, but fairly productive. Overall, we saw 160 individuals of 21 species, including 43 prairie racerunners and 42 collared lizards!
