What some of you may not know is that I like to sketch, I probably don't do it as much as I should.

Here is a sample of what I can do.

I caught this lil' baby!

This is my first live-caught Diamond-back rattlesnake. We found him out on the road while dirtbiking. He IS alive in these pictures.
As you can see he is just a lil' one.
With just a lil' beady rattle

Roadtrip find

On our drive to Cali, we stopped in the middle of nowhere in a small little town called "Dateland" NO KIDDING! It was where they grew dates. (the fruit kind, sorry.)

And look what I found in the store!

a few real full sized rattlesnakes incased in plastic! Too bad they were $200.... Or else you know I would have all of them!

Just thought you would think these interesting..

Seaworld Trip

This is a shark, I took this picture as he swam over the top of me at the Shark Encounter.

I have no clue what this guy is! But he is cool!
Sea Lions, this guy tried to be as annoying & loud as possible to get food.
BELUGA!! Most people don't realize how big they are! This guy was about as big as the average mini-van!
And last but not least, a flippin' awesome exotic catfish..

Here is also some cell phone footage of SHAMU!!

Orca(Killer Whales) are such amazing creatures if you really think about it.

They gotta be very smart if they can be taught to do such amazing things. Heck, in the night show the orcas were break dancing on the platform to the beat of the music! Many people I know can't do that! (ESPECIALLY the dancing to the beat part)

Such huge and amazing creatures able to do so many things.

Latest Snake

It's deadly venom can kill you in a matter of minutes!

Just thought I'd throw this in cuz I'm bored

I am in the middle...

FUN TIMES..........

Coral Snake

I had a poll to see whether you guys are smart or not :P

Which is more Venomous? Coral Snake or Rattlesnake?

Coral Snake!

The Coral snake is the only North American snake in the Elapid family (cobras, mambas, sea snakes) Which makes it the most toxic snake in North America.

But interestingly enough there have been more deaths from rattlesnake bites than coral snakes.

That is because coral snakes tend to be quite placid. And rattlesnakes are very temperamental, which increases the amount of bites.

Just throwing this in to scare the older relatives.. they are quite common in Arizona.

Thank you for reading this very long post......
