No New Posts HERPETOLOGICAL PHOTOGRAPHY FORUM
Since SWCHR supports and encourages high quality herpetological photography and provides cash awards for the Photo of the Month along with our annual Award for Excellence in Herpetological Photography we felt this forum was needed.

You may also post your own photographic images for other members to review and critique, or perhaps you have just taken a super herp photo that you just want to show off.

Due to the considerable overlap of species between the American Southwest and Mexico along with the fact that we share both the Chihuahuan Desert and the Sonoran Desert with Mexico, SWCHR has opted to provide our members a forum for the discussion of all aspects of Mexican herpetology and herpetoculture. If your post is about a species indigenous to Mexico but not to the American Southwest this is where it belongs. Mexican Dusky Rattlesnake photo by Brendan O'Connor
