Great pics! Thanks so much for sharing.
I only get to see garters around here. I don't remember seeing any other species in the wild in my life...boring!!! Hahhahaha
Unfortunately I can't think of anything to pick on Reinz about right now....I'm disappointed in myself, hehehehehe.

Those are fun snakes to see and look at. Catching them? Not so much lol! They bite and musk and are just kinda gross. After you’ve caught several you kinda get over them haha

We've only ever seen 3 snakes at our house despite living with a big green belt behind our house, and I've only seen 2 of those three.
This one that we just approached for photos and let slither off, what I think is a rough/smooth earth snake or something similar that darted into the dirt before we could even try (not dekays brown snake), and my husband saw a garter exactly once while mowing who did the same thing and hid before he could even approach.
I don't think I'd go out of my way to pick up a water snake for that exact reason, haha. But it is cool to see them and get some pictures.
Out in the trails by our old apartment we saw a nice, big rat snake. "He" was clearly doing well for himself with the big complex and creek nearby. I'm not sure if being in Texas makes it a TX rat snake, or if it is just a western rat. Big one measured 5 to 6 ft with a pixel measurement of the picture (sidewalk is a big biking path).

That's ok, it's still a nice turtle, beautiful scenery & a stunning sunset.

The positive side is that we didn’t find anything dead on road. So at least all the snakes we didn’t see were alive somewhere

Gosh, that water looks SO peaceful...except for that cute little guy swimming out there, lol...
Beautiful timber...looks like he wasn't very bothered by you at all. So happy you didn't find any DORs...they make me so sad.
Nice photos, thanks for sharing!
I did some yard work (mowing) today & found 2 of my resident toads. They're used to me picking them up & moving them out of harms way.
