Yeah, that's right mofos. If you keep or hunt reptiles or amphibians (better known as herps), post your pictures of them. Arachnids also qualify for this thread.
I've loved these animals since I was a child. Not sure how I got into them, but it works for me. If I go hiking, you'll always see me flipping over logs and rocks just to see what's hiding under them.
Lets see some pictures!
Here's my contributions:
My bad ass Pyxie Frog, Pierre. They're also known as African Bullfrogs.
I used to have a pet copperhead. Saved him from getting run over by a car on a dirt road in GA. I think my ex named him Stalin (he was pretty evil).
And just for the hell of it, here are some random pics of herps(no not herpes, you pervs) that I have found:
Baby toad:
Small Ringneck Snake:
Box Turtle:
Unknown salamander, perhaps Redback:
Another Copperhead that showed up in a neighbor's yard:
6 foot Black Racer or Black Ratsnake:
A bite wound from said black snake:
Yet another Copperhead that I found:
And, lastly, some spider pics for the arachnid lovers out there:

I used to have two rose haired tarantulas, but that was a long time ago. And a friend and I raised rats, and other various lizards.
Too bad no pics

Nice man, where'd you find a rattlesnake in Canada? Didn't know you guys had them. What species is that?
Also, last snake pictured... Gopher or Pine snake?

I got an Usumbra Tarantula you can have then, this fucker is way too mean to keep and hurts like hell when it bits. It chased me across the room just a few days ago when I was feeding it...Baboon family, too fucking mean..
I love Pac Man frogs and have had several. Ill get another but since ones already posted you know what they look like
Tokays are also too mean...got rid of mine American Alligator
Had to donate to Henry Doorley zoo, just too much too consider...but if I had a farm id make a nice set up for one because their so cool...
I dont like a lot of commercial herps like iguanas etc...I knew a chick who lost a cheek from an Ig she had for 11 years...I like docile snakes lizards and spiders also I love frogs something about them intrigues me...but fish and fish tanks are my forte. I like the aggressive ones though that eat other fish because I dont hold them, but aggressive herps suck...
Nice collection though bro...
-------------------- While driving my overpowered car around tight corners like a maniac all my friends yell out. Hey man slow down, we might Wreck. I reply, Shut up, I drive like Dale Earnhardt. They all look around at each other and laugh. Then one asks me. Hey wait, isnt he dead? Well yeah he is I said. Then I drive like Junior I mumble, while I promptly slow down. "Everyday is opposite day. Everything I say is opposite of what you think I am saying. So if I say something and you think I mean one thing it is the opposite of what I am really trying to say. I actually mean another thing other than what you are thinking I am saying. Get it? Good because that's what I meant". "You may defeat me, you may even destroy me, But you will never CONQUER me"!

I'm in the Okanagan, south central BC, basically the same as northwestern Washington state. the rattler is a pacific rattler, the other is a great basin gopher.
there are two other species or rattlers in Canada, the prairie rattlesnake, and the Mississauga, Timber rattlers used to be found in Ontario as well.
i frequently encounter skinks here, theres also rubber boas and alligator lizards. we used to have pygmy horned lizards, theres still a species or horned lizard in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan
