Thought I had a snake to contribute today, but it turned out to be a baby glass lizard.

Are they poisonous? Asking for a friend.
Honestly, that's just as good if not better...location?
Also no they are not poisonous, nor are they venomous.

Edit: caught in Fort Myers. I see a few of these per year. They're usually pretty quick, but this one was lazy.

Great post!
No hardcore rules... this isn't the longhorn tears thread. We are just as happy to identify other herps (reptiles/amphibians) and odd creatures if we can.
The people on this thread are not as prone to ridicule either for anything except unneccesary snake carnage.

And please don't ask if a snake is poisonous!
Yeah... that one doesn't really bother me as much as it does some people, but you could catch a little flack for that too.

Like.. It seems okay to post a random reptile find or something similar that's a bit off the track from the original purpose of the thread.
Always welcome. The clickbait stuff I tried to avoid when I started the snake thread but people like to post it and there are usually some funny comments from those.
I do not care if the thread spills over. Usually interesting stuff.

Agreed. Doesn't bother me a a bit, but when the questions is asked there are always some feathers ruffled!
I think I know what it is, but others have me questioning... what do the experts say?

Send it to me by email which is in my profile
it's very obvious and I think you know what it is... what kind of venomous snake do the others have you guessing?
Nothing venomous... I am pretty sure it is a rat snake, but others were sure it was a king snake or a hognose snake.

Can I get help identifying this poor unfortunate soul who got caught up in the netting on my raised garden?
Ratsnake. That netting is particularly lethal to snakes.

Why?
Also if it is dangerous to snakes, that will eat the varmints that destroy the garden, why use it?
I have it on my garden to protect my tomatoes from birds and squirrels. Without the netting, the tomatoes get raided.
It seems to be perfectly suited to get behind and up under the scales, trapping and cutting snakes.
Edit- very similar to a gill net for fish

Ok. Thank you. I was just thinking of mice, rats or rabbits.
Totally forgot about the destroyer of all things out doors. The dreaded squirrel.
Btw I hate those suckers. Can't wait until my dog finally catches one.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Saturday evening I came across one of our resident coral snakes. We have a couple of equipment sheds with dirt floors and they like the cracks and crevices that have developed in the dirt over the years. That, and the sheds are normally closed up and dark inside. The smaller ones (8 to 12 inches) have been seen in pairs, but this one (about 18 to 20 inches) was by itself. It was resting on a small pile of dirt that I had brought in for filling the cracks (first photo), and I guess the temperature was cool enough to make it sluggish and sit still for photos. Usually they take off as soon as they detect someone nearby. I had to stomp my feet on the ground to get the attention of this one, at which time it cruised back to its burrow (second photo).
The photos aren't the best, but all I had was an iPhone that seemed to have trouble focusing in the low light conditions.
Still cool... big coral snake!

We've been having 65-70 degree weather here in the Memphis area for the past few days but expect a cold snap later this week.
Will snakes come out in winter during a warmer 4-5 day stretch or do they normally stay put and wait for true Spring?

General Cornwallis visited the Pre-Kindergarteners today for "Letter S" week. They were all initially really worried about him, but by the end were warmed up and wanted to say hi.
