Hi all, As non-USA (but flying in from Europe) what kind of permits would you suggest we need for herping (handling/photographing) in Arizona and New Mexico? The wildlife authorities offer a range of permits (like hunting and fishing) but which one to choose? Cheers and see you all in July. Roel

My husband and I are both wildlife biologists, who fell in love (with the location and each other) in the Chiricahuas. I just registered us both for the conference, and booked a room at the portal lodge. We have not been  there for a decade. Looking forward to being there again! Now we have two kids, 12 year old girl and 10 year old boy, both budding biologists and huge reptile fans. We would like to bring them. We would probably only attend 2 maybe 3 lectures a day and then hike and explore the rest of the day with the kids and attend the social gatherings. We will definitely be attending the banquet. Are any other kids going to be at the conference?
