lol very true. One of mine is the mudsnake, which is a moderately common but extremely secretive and difficult to find aquatic species. After long hours of driving through swamp roads at night in search of one, I finally found one sitting in the open on a trail in horrible conditions. Another is the pygmy rattlesnake which is extremely abundant in many parts of its range, but for some reason I just could not find one until this guy crossed my path a week ago. And then what would have been the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, a roadkill (this is kinda gory btw if anyone has a problem with that) Brook’s kingsnake. Excuse the snake bias, but I am a herper
