PROGRAM: Helping Your Herps Photogenically SPEAKER: Bill Love

PLACE: 335 Borlaug Hall st. Paul Campus University of Minnesota

Bill and his wife, Kathy, are the founders/owners of Glades Herpetoculture in Gainesville, Florida. The main focus of their breeding program is genetic variances. They have produced Com Snakes with a wide variety of colors and patterns or as one of their recent ads puts it H a cornucopia". Along the way Bill has established himself as a photographer. Many of his photos have appeared in various books and magazines. Bill will show some slides and give tips on how to bring out the best in your herps when photographing them. An excellent slide show is anticipated so let's all be there to give Bill a wann welcome. He'll need it since all he owns is shorts.

For those of you who never got around to getting photos taken to enter in the photo contest, this may just get you enthusiastic about getting a early start for next year)s contest.

NOVEMBER PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

The speaker at the November meeting was MHS member, Fred Bozvay. Fred spent last summer working at Reptile Gardens in Rapid City, S.D. This was an entertaining talk accompanied by slides. Fred was employed primarily as an alligator wrestler, however he also gave snake talks, cleaned enclosures, feed animals, cared for sick animals and generally did whatever needed to be done. He took a number of herping field trips in all of his remaining spare time.

Along with learning the skill of how to wrestle an alligator (which no doubt will be useful to him in a multitude of future endeavors) he did have the opportunity to work with a large number of species to which he had never been exposed. Reptile Gardens keeps a large number of venomous species and Fred learned a lot about working with them. This will surely be great material for telling stories to the grand kids some years down the road. After all, how many of us can truthfully say we were chased by a King Cobra or nearly lost a hand to a gator.

CHANGES IN COMMON AND SCIENTIFAC NAMES OF AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES IN MINNESOTA

Since the 1944 publication of Breckenridge's book, The Reptiles and Amphibians of Minnesota, the names of herps found in Minnesota have been changed. Some of the changes have been minor, like red-bellied to redbelly, but others have been major. Softshell turtles have had 3 separate genus names. including Amyda, Trionyx, and recently Apalone. This is a case of lithe names were changed to confuse the innocent". The scientific names are changed to fit the protocol established by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. These rules can be found in the library. Common names change to standardize names across the country. The Society for the Study of Amphlbians and Reptiles (SSAR) has a committee to coordinate the changes. Usually, name changes are not well publicized so it is not easy to keep up-to-date on herp nomenclature. The following is a summary of the name changes of Minnesota herps.

Attendance at the general meeting was 85. The Secretary's minutes were read and approved. Gloria gave the treasurer's report. She reported that she had purchased a 3-month CD for $500.00 and after discussion it was decided to purchase a 6-month CD for $500.00.

President's Report John thanked the members-at-large for their great job of helping at the general meeting. The 1990 Midwest Herp Symposium has been re-scheduled to October 12-14. The Radisson University Hotel will be the headquarters. Planned are three long and six short papers to be presented on Saturday as well as a banquet at the hotel. A live animal exhibit area will be provided on Friday and Sunday. Also on Sunday will be several tour options for those who are interested.

Vice-Presidenfs Report: Aaron reported on upcoming programs. He has programs scheduled for January, February, and April. He also has videos in mind for March.

Rocky Rooocco's seems to be acceptable to those who like to continue the meeting after the meeting. It's on Snelling Avenue just south of County Rd. B. for those who care to join the group.

Roundtable: Nancy mentioned that with all the new books we are running out of space in the library cart. Plans were made to build a new one and use the old one to store some of the items currently in the foot locker.

PHANTASTIC PHENOLOGICAL PHINDS Late Season Record - Plains Garter Snake

On 14 November 1989, I was walking the park boundary at Murphy - Hanrehan Park Reserve in Scott Co., MN and saw a plains garter snake in an old field. Breckenridge (1944, Reptiles and Amphibians of Minnesota) reported the latest activity in plains garters as 12 November in Hennepin Co.

The snake was in an ant mound with its head sticking out approximately 1 inch. When approached it withdrew into the ant mound. The mound was excavated and the snake was found 4 inches below the surface. After a short observation the snake was released back into the ant mound. The temperature was just above freezing and it was sunny. Later that day the f11'st significant snow of the season fell in the Metro area.

MIDWEST SYMPOSIUM A BIG SUCCESS

$7.00 2.50 0.75 4.00/set

The recent Midwest Herpetological Symposium held in st. Louis attracted a good crowd. Approximately 150 attended. Minnesota had a good showing with 20 members, all of whom proudly wore their MRS buttons. Most of the talks leaned toward captive breeding but all were quite good. TIlls year was the first time that space and time were provided specifically for animal trade. 'This seemed to be well accepted. Along with the talks there was a lot of visiting with other attendees (especially by some of MRS's more eligible members). The tour of the S1. Louis Zoo, with a behind the scenes look at the reptile house, was a big hit The 5t. Louis Rerp Society, especially Harry Steinmann, should be commended for a job well done. Next year's symposium will be held right here in Minnesota where it originated nve years ago. (We'll be sure to give a good map to certain MHS members so they won't take the scenic route again.) The committee already has plans under way. The 1991 conference is tentatively scheduled for Indianapolis, Indiana.

GRANTS FOR NONGAME WILDLIFE RESEARCH IN MINNESOTA

The Minnesota Nongame Wildlife Program is soliciting proposals to be conducted during the 1990 and/or 1991 field seasons. Proposals should be for work contributing to the conservation and management of nongame wildlife (vertebrate or invertebrate) in Minnesota. Projects focusing on state endangered, threatened, or special concern species will be given high priority. Appropriate projects may include censuses, surveys. studies of life history, or population dynamics, assessment or identification of habitat, design of long term monitoring programs, and a wide variety of other topics. Requests average $3000. per year but larger requests will be considered. The deadline for submitting proposals is January 1, 1990. Decisions will be announced no later than March 1, 1990. For program guidelines, proposal fonnat, sample research ideas, E & T species list, and other information, please contact Richard J. Baker, Nongame Wildlife Program, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Box 7, 500 Lafayette Road, st. Paul, MN 55155-4007 or call (612) 297-3764. Funding comes from contributions to the Minnesota Nongame Wildlife Tax Check-off.

HERPING HERE AND THERE

Herps can earn their keep as proven by Josafa Bispo da Lima of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Lima leaves his five foot rattlesnake to guard his car. He claims that since he started leaving the snake in the car no one has tried to steal the car or the radio or TV set inside. Maybe someone could contact A11state about giving a herper's discount on auto theft insurance!

The Connecticut Department of Transportation was recently fmed for killing an endangered species. It seems that a DOT crew was moving a rock ledge and uncovered a Timber Rattlesnake den. They then dropped the rock ledge back onto the snakes and killed some of them. It's interesting to note the rare case of one state agency fining another one.

Facts on File, Inc has several new books of interest to herpers. Bites and Stings: The World of Venomous Animals by John Nichol (publication date : November 1, 1989) covers all aspects of venomous creatures including natural history and toxic effects, characteristics and behavior, role in religion and folklore, and conservation and future. Amphibians and Reptiles (publication date: October 10, 1989) is a new addition to the Encyclopedia of the Animal World. This series is aimed toward young people. It will eventually comprise a total of twelve volumes each covering a particular animal or animal group.

A revision of The Reproductive Husbandry of Pythons and Boas is due out this month. More information on this book will be printed in the near future.
