No New Posts SOUTH OF THE BORDER FOCUS GROUP / AL SUR DE LA FRONTERA GRUPO DE ENFOQUE
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.

Debido a la considerable superposición de especies entre el suroeste de Estados Unidos y México, junto con el hecho de que compartimos tanto el Desierto Chihuahuense y el desierto de Sonora en México, SWCHR ha optado por ofrecer a nuestros miembros un foro para la discusión de todos los aspectos de la herpetología de México y herpetocultura. Si tu mensaje se trata de una especie autóctona de México, pero no con el suroeste de Estados Unidos aquí es donde pertenece.

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. Here members may post messages or questions pertaining to photography equipment and photography techniques used in herpetological photography. 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. This is also where our members vote for our Photo of the Month at the end of each month.Sonoran Green Toads photo by Jason Penney
