My boy and I were looking for Green Anoles at Wrightsville Beach and found this guy. My kid was STOKED. Made his week. Legless lizard, Eastern Glass lizard.
those kids on YT snatch up water snakes left and right. Idk how they get bitten repeatedly by snakes.
Caught and released this little gray rat snake at my parents house yesterday. The kids loved it. Meanwhile my sister - “Dont touch it. It’s a copperhead. You can tell from the Hershey kiss pattern”
Crazy Snake Worms Move Into Connecticut David Shapiro - 18h ago React15 Comments| {this.tipPromotionInArticleVisible!==e&&(this.tipPromotionInArticleVisible=e,this.reRenderExperience())}" style="--direction:ltr;"> Astate alert warns that Connecticut is being deluged by crazy snake worms. Scientific name amynthas agrestis and informally also known as jumping worms or sharks of the earth. By destabilizing the soil, the worms have already toppled stone walls in New England. Worse: they threaten to turn farmland into wasteland by taking all the nutrients. They are earthworms on steroids says state scientist Gale Ridge. She says to keep new crazy snake worms out of Connecticut, buy bare root plants only for your garden since they can be transported in potted soil. Another help comes from another invasive species – the hammerhead worm, which considers crazy snake worms dessert.
Warning: Not Snakes Came across these spiders in the garage and can’t determine if they’re brown recluse or something like a southern house spider. Lighting wasn’t great, I know. They were like a pale brown. Saw two of them along with some eggs. Just want to make sure I’m not running risk with a kid and a dog running around down there.
Local museum has a hybrid Timber/Diamondback rattlesnake. Pics don’t do it justice, but it’s a beast. Owners says it’s close to 6 ft and is thicc
Pretty sure I saw video of these two swimming with it and handling it like it's a ring neck. Absolutely fucking not.
Kind of a crap picture, couldn't get too close without spooking him. But, saw a common water snake on a walk with the pup today. Spoiler
Saw these two hanging out at the Charleston Aquarium last week. It's two different snakes curled up, didn't think that was a thing. You can see the two heads in the middle.
I don't know why this is so fascinating to me, but videos of this dude solo camping in Indonesia get millions of views in a matter of weeks. There are reticulated pythons, king cobras, tigers, rhinos, and god knows what else lurking.
Part of me is kinda bummed I didn't see any rattlesnakes in the wild on my US trip. The crazy ass part of me...
Found this beautiful Texas Spiny Lizard in my garage when I was coming back in the house. It was on the floor mat and had a bundle of lint wrapped all around its head. I gently picked it up to untangle him. That is where it went bad. I discovered his rear legs would not move at all. And they were pretty flat to the ground. I must have stepped on him on my way out. I feel like a turd. I took him out back and put him under a bush with a mason jar lid of water right by him. Not expecting good things for him…
