Best captures

Hi everyone, I was wondering, what are the best reptiles and amphibians you have ever caught in the wild? Include pictures if possible. Mine was this spiny softshell turtle that I caught with a friend.

Yeah, he may be "just" a bullsnake, but he was the first bull snake I ever caught by myself. I'd found rattlers and another bull in the chicken coop before, but that was before I really was into snakes. When I saw this guy half way down a mouse hole I couldn't resist pulling him back up. He had feathers in his mouth and was a little snappy at first (I think he had been eating a mouse), but then he calmed down to the temperament of a corn and sat on my shoulders and was a good friend for a few minutes before I sent him on his merry mouse killing way. The bull snakes are always invited to stay in the chicken coop- though I think he was responsible for the death of one of my chicks a few days earlier.

Mine would be Smitty my king. She was accidentally dug up my by brother in law last Christmas and I didn't have the heart to make her find a new place to brumate when it was 19 degrees. So in the house she came.

And look! Smitty is on the Hide From Hell (with the secret compartment!!)

YES SHE IS!!! That thing is long gone now. I hated that thing and I didn't even have anyone that went up into the secret compartment but the little lip around the edge is what made me mad. It never failed that they would hang on for dear life to the edge.

Here's one of my favorites! First Gray Rat!!

Goodness he is HUGE!!

I think the camera angle makes him look a little exaggerated, but he was HUGE. Easily one of the biggest snakes I have caught. And sweet as pie. SOOOOOO hard to put him back!!

WOW! Is that even a rat snake? I've never seen a rat snake that massive!

I haven't done a lot of capturing, but I really liked this king snake I caught a while back.
