So, he is just living in the bushes and eating worms as they emerge? Cool!

I think most I've seen are about that shade.Tony Franklins Other Shoe said:So vary in color from light tan to that dark?Badace52 said:Bulldog73 said:

No picture, but the family is in Sonoma County, CA for vacation with the in-laws… went to lake Sonoma, doing some bank fishing and my 5 year old says "I just stepped on a snake" I don't really believe him but he says "whoa! Yup a snake!"
I go look and it's a freaking 8" rattlesnake baby, alive and slithering away.
Talk about nervousness after that.

What a wus. Thankfully he had protection from the dangerous demon.

That dog hit the brakes real quick when he saw it too.
Not snake but a lizard, hope this is allowed. In Houston, sitting by the pool and this dude skitters out. Racing around on the concrete feasting on the ants running around. He was about 1/2" long with another 1" tail. I am pretty sure he is a green anole baby but can someone confirm? I know they are not rare but I always love seeing their chameleon abilities, this little guy was brown and gray, matching the concrete.
Brown anole... they are an invasive species. Green anoles are a separate species that is native. Brown anoles are very common in the Houston area. They are pretty cool for an invasive though.

Thank you, I did not expect that. Why I came here and asked!
No problem. I know it says snake thread but 12f is a herper and is an expert in pretty much all reptiles and most amphibians. I do what I can but I'm not an expert. Never be afraid to post one here.

I like seeing other critters too. They all are interesting.
Pretty sure I saw this dude's mom or dad this week. Big 3-5" Lizard of same color on brick assumed it was a GA blending in. Dead wrong and learned something new today
TPWD had a brown anole reporting program. It's really interesting - their concentration. I only have green anoles at my house in Richmond but browns are VERY close by.
They're all over the place in Galveston but I haven't seen one around our house in Katy.
Beer Update. Tastes pretty damn good for a beer out of Oklahoma.

They were everywhere around here until the big freeze a couple of years ago caused an extinction event.
Yep. Seemed to knock their population down quite a bit, but only temporarily.
Got another live one on Nextdoor. A very clear picture of a cottonmouth, yet there's a guy literally calling everyone else idiots because he thinks it's a rat snake. Usually it's the nonvenomous being identified as venomous, not the other way around.

One of my dogs spent the better part of the day yesterday f'ing with one of them. Just kept carrying it around in her mouth, dropping it, letting it run, catching it again. Wouldn't come inside and leave the poor thing alone.Yordaddy said:

Hiking in Central America.
No idea what it is, but the head screams nope nope nope
Looks like a rattlesnake.
Head gives off cotton mouth vibes, but everything else has me confused

Gotta be a fer-de-lance, no?
All I know about snakes outside of the US is that I don't know anything about snakes outside of the US and will stay well away from them.
Ah.... so the extra spicy kind of danger noddle... the spiciest of spicy
Yessir. Fer de lance.
We did a family trip to Belize earlier in the month and I looked up snakes, which was kind of pointless. We did a lot of hiking to waterfalls and sometimes did not see more than a couple of people all day. Not even on the road. No clue where the nearest hospital or doctor would be. So I started looking at a list of dangerous nope-ropes like that fer-de-lance and thought -- what the F would I do anyway if I get tagged?
