In 2006 our main lizard trip took us to Laughlin, Nevada. We saw many wonderful reptiles including a king snake, Mohave rattlesnakes, zebra-tailed lizards, chuckwallas, desert iguanas and more. Hoping to duplicate our success we returned in 2007. Our luck wasn't as good, but we still enjoyed tromping around in the desert.
Highlights without photos (we usually don't take the camera with us) were Drew catching a fringe-toed lizard somewhere in California, catching a monster desert iguana at a sand dunes near 29 Palms, a few chuckwallas and DIs around Laughlin, along with a few other odds and ends lizards like leopards, whiptails, spineys, etc.
Highlights with the few photos we took are Drew with a little chuckwalla above and the rattlesnake below:
Here is the rattlesnake we found
Matt jumps in and picks him up.
Drew picks up his first rattlesnake.
Neil shows off his snake handling skills and putter. Notice the bends in the putter handle. The tantrums Neil throws on the golf course after missing a few putts has created an ideal snake handling device. You would think such a wonderful snake tool would be retired from golf, but Neil still uses it. And, next lizard trip, it will have even more useful bends.
Finally, I get a turn. When your taking pictures you have to be the last in line.

I would like to see more photos of that Neil guy. He's hot.
I am always so impressed by the intelligence of people who like to catch and hold rattlesnakes.
Wow! I didn't realize I married such a crazy man!
For the record Neil posted on my log in about himself :0).
I do think he's hot though.
I love that you guys are still like little kids who love to go exploring.
