Spacecoast since my last post..

Post by InfantryVeteran »

I have finally gotten some time to do a little herping since the temperatures have dropped a little.

Road Cruising has been slightly productive, despite the temperature drop. I road cruised this awesome Glass Lizard earlier this month. I love this picture and am finally learning how to use my T3i!
Image

As is normally the case, Cornsnakes have made a few appearances.
Image

I even cruised this Eastern Gartersnake during a brisk morning!
Image

I've never been very interested in Amphibians, however, since getting my new camera, I've really started noticing them.

It's nice to see a native Green Tree Frog on occasion!
Image

Lifer Greenhouse Frog
Image

We can't forget the most common tree frog around. Cuban Tree Frog
Image

Southern Toads are quite plentiful!
Image
Image
Image

And I also found my lifer Eastern Narrowmouth Toad!
Image

Southern Leopard Frog
Image

Ringnecks are always easy to find!
Image

I flipped this dirty, cold Southern Black Racer under an old couch someone had dumped on the side of a dirt road. It was 50 degrees out with a cold rain, so it didn't put up much of a fight.
Image

And here we are today! I finally got a Lifer (and Alive) Florida Brown Snake! I love the Florida variety!
Image
Image

I hope you have enjoyed the pictures!

Ummm, are you sure that's a black racer? :shock:

It's hard to tell in that picture, but yes. It's definitely a racer. Here are two more photos of this same snake.

Good stuff, and a great improvement on photos already!

The racer's scales superficially look like an indigos, but I think you maybe tweaked the contrast or something else a little to far on it, and that's what's giving it such deep black scales?

Yeah, that's what happened. The photo was extremely dark before editing (didn't realize how bad it was until I was already home.)

Your pictures look great. I hope you had as much fun making the photographs as I did looking at them!
