One of two possible garters, and the head is too short to be a Giant Garter Snake. Seen in a large agricultural canal. Head is covered in crap and debris.
Went back to see if I had missed anyone under the rainpan the arboreal was under and I’m glad I did!
(Ended up finding another speckled black but didn’t bother to take photos.)
Another! Love these guys!
This snake was swimming through a small mud puddle when I found it. It was about 20 inches long and was fairly thick. The black and yellow stripes with red dashes made It easy to identify
I found this gecko at my friends house. I know it’s a gecko/ reptile and not an amphibian is because it was not near water, which amphibians nead to survive.
