For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by reptiles. Snakes are a particular favorite of mine, and Florida is a great place to see a lot of snakes in the wild. Here are a few of the beautiful snakes I found in Florida. Most were just moved safely off of the road; though the diamondback was spotted at Corkscrew Swamp and the Burm was humanely euthanized as invasive pythons are a huge ecological concern in Florida.
Gartersnake
Banded watersnake
Glossy crayfish snake (a species I'd only ever seen in books, previously)
My first wild Eastern diamondback rattlesnake
Burmese python
Ribbon snake
And a beautifully light colored banded watersnake

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I almost stepped on a diamond back rattler, I was in northern Montana way out in the badlands. It rattled, I went up, presently still hold the record for levitating, and the snake went I do not know where. When I came down it was no where. I looked as I did not want to step on it. Seen many since then, they scare me.

Posted by InsectraA cute grey treefrog (Hyla versicolor) that I found in my birch tree, this afternoon. His camouflage was great and I only discovered him when I heard him calling.

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
