is ths a free publication? Thats an awesome article! It's pretty crazy how there's so many people on this planet and we're still finding new flora and fauna (even though this is a rediscovery).

The lannomi article appears in the March 2010 issue of Herpetological Review. It is a quarterly news-journal published by SSAR (Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles). Membership is open to all. Here's a link to the Society's webpage: http://www.ssarherps.org/pages/membership.php

Justin, the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles (SSAR) publishes both Journal of Herpetology and Herpetological Review as part of membership benefits.
Sometimes individual authors will make articles available in pdf form.
You can find out more at
http://www.ssarherps.org/default.php
Unfortunately, they have given management of subscriptions over the ZenScientist, and that is one of the most messed up, unorganized websites I have ever seen. It is almost impossible to figure out the various subscription rates to Herp Review anymore.
You can try to wade through the muck at:
http://www.zenscientist.com/
but, you will most likely have to email the muck-maker directly at: Breck@ZenScientist.com
At one time, students could get a discount rate, and could also just subscribe to Herp Review only. It is hard to tell just what they are offering anymore.
Write to Breck and ask him about student rates to become a member of the SSAR.
Best Regards
John Z

I agree that the ZenScientist site is challenging to navigate, but I believe that a fix is in the works. Meanwhile, as suggested, please contact Breck Bartholomew directly and he can assist. If you would like a sample issue of Herpetological Review, please contact me at HerpReview <AT> gmail.com and provide your name and mailing address (US only, please, unless you are willing to cover postage). Thanks.

Thanks for the added info Robert !
The SSAR site used to be very well organized, and easy to renew, or, set up new memberships.
Sure hope the "Zen" thing gets fixed soon.
The SSAR is an organization that all serious herpers should become members of. The publish great books, have excellent journals, and have excellent annual meetings.
All of you younger herpers will greatly benefit by becoming members, as it will help show you the scientific side of herping.
Best Regards
John Z

I remeber seeing the dead specimin in 3rd grade for the first time and I thought it was some kind of hybrid that would never be found again. I cant believe how beautiful these animals are. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

It is such a small world. I read this article months ago and was blown away. We had a helper on this shoot who was an absolute legend and really stepped up when things hit the fan (it was a brutal shoot due to weather, chiggers and interpersonal issues). Turned out that Jake (as I shortened his name to) was the author (Jacobo Reyes Velasco) of this fantastic article rediscovering the coolest rattlesnake ever! I found this out when we were chatting snakes over breakfast one morning and I randomly mentioned these snakes and he said it was his work!! I hadn't made the connection. I shook his hand right then and there :) . Considering the profound importance of his discovery of five more specimens of a snake that had only been known from a single specimen collected in 1966, this shows tremendous character. He is definately a Mexican, not a Mexicant! Total dude. The kind of person you want in the field. He is welcome anytime, anywhere!!
