Matt Ellerbeck - The Snake Man's log May 14 2010 'Today I visited the Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba. The site has been designated as an Important Amphibian and Reptile Area (IMPARA) by the Canadian Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Network (CARCNET). This is due to the fact that at the dens more snakes can be viewed at a glance then at any other place in the entire world. Some estimates state that the site is home to over 80000 snakes, within a mere 3 square kilometers. The predominant species found at the dens is the Red-Sided Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis). Although the Plains Garter Snake (Thamnophis radix) is also prevalent, accounting for about 10% of the population. Upon arrival at the site, I quickly encountered many snakes before I even reached the first den entrance. They were crawling across the paths and slithering through the vegetation. Once I reached the entrances there were thousands upon thousands of snakes. They were slithering, basking, climbing, and mating. Some spots were literally carpeted in these reptiles. The ground just moved with activity. The areas adjacent to the entrances were also covered in snakes. Literally every step taken there were more snakes encountered. They covered the ground! I had to watch and make sure I didn't step on them. I spent hours at the sites just observing the masses of reptiles. On the way back from the dens I stopped in the town of Inwood to get a picture of the town's giant snake statue. As I ...

Clip of a Solifugae (common names: camel spider, sun spider, wind scorpian), devouring a little gecko at the Warlock shop in Baghdad Iraq. Stupid commentary by Luke, John, Matt, and Chud. Also, check out these Tasty Tunes: www.youtube.com Check out my cousin Dane's music page above. He does some neat original folk tunes =D FYI: scorpions, spiders, and solifugae are all part of the Arachnida Class. However, scorpians are in the Scorpiones Order and spiders are in the Araneae Order, both of which are distinct from the Solifugae Order of which these nasty 10-leggers belong. Within the Solifugae Order there are at least 12 known Families. So in other words, no, these guys are not in the same Family as scorpions or spiders neither of which is claimed anywhere on this page. They are however referred to by their common names which are Camel Spider, Wind Scorpion, and Sun Spider. Please stop the comments that are like "Actualy, is a scorpian ya dumb inbread fist fuckig fagot!" (sic). Yep, that was an actual comment that was posted and later deleted. There's something about misspelling words in the same sentence that you're calling someone dumb that doesn't quite work.

A giant spider beast - big black spider with yellow markings in a large web. I found this giant arachnid in Thailand as I walked on a jungle path up a mountain. This spider is big, black and yellow and moved slowly. Couple nice photos at: Thaipulse.com/blog too. Got another arachnid video - a small scorpion will post shortly here.
