On a Sunny Afternoon

Although this big eastern diamondback initially coiled when we surprised each other, It soon continued slowly across the road. The diamondback in front of the car was unhappy.

Gone But Not Forgotten

Scattered roofing tins were eagerly sought by herps and herpers alike.

Florida Green Water Snakes
