  • Chris Gillette cgill002@fiu.edu www.chrisgillette.com Chris Gillette is a young biologist and photographer that I've had the pleasure of knowing since early 2009; he holds a degree in Environmental studies from FIU. He primarily shoots with a Canon camera system, and as with most herpetologists, has a strong affection for macro work and creative lighting. Chris is equally passionate about his work, photography, and travels- as they are often linked. This Florida native is especially attracted to snakes and crocodilians.

  • Ed Metzger efmetzger@gmail.com www.edmetzger.smugmug.com Ed Metzger is a Florida based biologist who at the time of this writing is working with exotic pythons and other reptiles in extreme southern Florida. Ed's background includes a biology degree from FIU and camera preferences strongly inclined towards Canon. I met Ed through a mutual passion for our native (actually not-so-native) herpetofauna, though I dare you to try and classify him solely as a "herper". His interests, and work experiences for that matter, range from tropical herpetology to Arctic botany! That my friends, is the very definition of the word "faceted". <i>Hemiphractus proboscideus</i>, Peru

  • Cerro Dantas Wildlife Refuge San Rafael, Heredia, Costa Rica www.­cerrodantas.­co.­cr warrencalvosiles@hotmail.com / IngridBrown@hotmail.com Cerro Dantas is a private wildlife reserve located in and acknowledged as a member of the Area de Conservación Cordillera Volcánica Central (ACCVC). Base camp sits at approx. 2050 m asl, with access to the site starting as a paved road, turning to gravel road, and eventually becoming a trail through the forest for the terminal two kilometers. With a car, Cerro Dantas is accessible as a day trip; you can do it via bus as well, but the last stop is still a 5km hike up to the reserve, followed by a 5km hike back down to catch the last bus leaving Monte de la Cruz at around 6pm. The station has dorm rooms with full electricity, bathrooms, showers, and a kitchen. The road/trail leading up to Cerro Dantas passes through pasture, reforestation, and old growth by way of Cerro Chompipe. Once at the station, a system of trails radiates out from the comedor, a few of which ascend to even higher elevations. Many interesting animals can be seen in the reserve, including what is said to be the highest concentration of tapirs (dantas) in Costa Rica. The avifauna flourishes around the station and in the forest. Winters can be quite wet and chilly up there, so bring a jacket and mud boots. Collard Redstart (<i>Myioborus torquatus</i>), Costa Rica
