Hi Lisa! Nice to 'meet' you too. I've met Jeff a few times at MO Herp. Association meetings. I only know of Tom Johnson as the author of the Missouri Reptile & Amphibian state guide and a few other publications.

Hi NeilDazet! It is a pleasure to 'meet' you. Yes it is good to have another herpetologist interfacing with the public. I also frequent the Field Herp Forum. Do you know my friends Jeff Briggler and Tom Johnson?

I love seeing Cottonmouth spottings on Project Noah. Part of my graduate research at Missouri State focused on behavior of juvenile cottonmouths. Great job capturing this one!
