Went out in the woods today....(DUW)
No snakes again....but wait til middle March :D The temps were around 84 deg. today so I did spot a few other critter though. Let me know what you think of the pics.
There were a bunch of Anoles out today.

A neat pic of some frog eggs. I found these sacs everywhere today. Hopefully we don't get another cold front....cause if it stays warm...lots of frogs this year...which means lots of snakes :D

Here is a fence lizard that I found under a piece of tin in open ground(???)....I was hoping for a timber rattler but I will settle for this girl. She was skinny, damp and dirty...maybe she was trapped under there?...It is too early for eggs so that is out... neat find anyways :D I caught her and put her on a tree out of the wet sand.

Nice shots! I wish I could find cool stuff like that.

Very cool! I'm with April...I never find stuff like that when I'm actually looking for it....but every once in a blue-moon, I'll see some pretty neat wildlife around here. Just never when I have my camera around! LOL

man, today it was 40 and rainy and tomorrow it will snow.. again.
i need to move somewhere more herp friendly. we only have one species of lizard... a skink that's near-impossible to find in the wild and it's very rare to see snakes, other than garters and northern water snakes, or any amphibians other than frogs here. sigh.......

nice pics daniel. i love anoles. we have a bunch of them here too--i saw a few out sunning recently during a warm day.
Re: Went out in the woods today....(DUW)
Thanks. I know what you all are talking about with pics. I have made a pact with myself to bring the camera everytime I go in the woods this year. I used to spot snakes all the time, but either they are still in for the winter or I am having some bad luck. I saw a few leopard frogs today too....but they were too quick for me to get shots of...
Anoles are so underrated. I guess because they are so common around homes that I am guilty of sometimes just passing them by without thinking how cool they are. I have not spotted any around the house yet....these were out in the middle of the woods, so it was pretty cool to see them in more of a natural setting.
