I'm awful at distinguishing bt water snakes and Moccs. My rule with my kid is if he can see the eye clearly he can grab it.
Broadhead Skink. We've had a 1 footer living around our house for years. Found this guy in the dunes on the way to the beach yesterday.
Came across one of those guys when I was down at Jean Lafitte National Park in NOLA in 2022. Saw me coming from about 50 feet away, reared up for a minute... and then vamoosed when reality hit.
I don't remember if I talked about it on here, but my daughter is obsessed with Snake Discovery on YT. She's so into it that I took her to a reptile event at the local arena here, even though snakes make my skin crawl. There were sooooooooooo many snakes. There would be a $200 snake next to a $2500 snake and I couldn't tell the difference. One of the guys was cool and tried to educate me but it may as well been in Latin. Definitely seemed like one of those things you had to know a good bit about to appreciate.
This is how I ended up with a pet snake, i.e., daughter watching Snake Discovery, wanting one, and me being a sucker for my daughter.
Is his opponent Yosemite Sam? “No one will vote for a snake-bit rabbit, I always say….mwuahahahahahhahaha!!!!”
I’ve lived almost all of my life in two Ohio and one PA county with active populations of copperheads but the only time I have ever seen one in the wild was on the New River in WV.
They’re probably the third most common snake I see in the greater Atlanta area behind water snakes and rat snakes. Super adept at making the most of urban sprawl and letting their camouflage keep them out of sight.
I think so many people kill them on sight that they’re more scarce around here. Were farther north as well, kind of the edge of their range.
was the meal being regurgitated because of size or cobra was disturbed while eating and did it to escape? Also, what was the last section of purge, looked liked lunch had bitten down on something and didn't let go
