The lady Lisa and I took a little hike in the Shenandoah mountains earlier today. Didn't find any snakes (well, a few shed skins) but we didn't go empty handed!
First herp I found was a little female broadhead skink. She was quick but I managed to pin her in the leaflitter to get a picture:
We also encountered a few little eastern fence lizards:
First catch, a small male:
Tried to get a shot of his bright turquoise belly but it didnt turn out too well.
Second, a possibly gravid female:
Also caught a few more little males. They are quick and as soon as you startle them they are gone up a tree!
To end the day we went fishing with little luck... although Lisa caught a little panfish:
Thanks for looking, and good luck in your own adventures!
