I've been trying to get outside more, since everything in central Florida is out and about!

I've been taking more pictures with my dorky camera phone, but at least I have a picture to show VS just a story!

It's hard to tell, but I have to get VERY close just to get a decent pic...if I ever bring my SLR, it would be DRAMATICALLY different.

At a park in Tampa, we saw in one hour:

3 different species of frog
2 different species of water snake
2 different species of turtle
2 different species of lizard
an alligator and all kinds of birds, snails, fish, and squirrels!

For a couple months, it's nice here...then it gets too HOT!

These guys are becoming more and more rare as the Cuban Tree Frogs move north.




For you snake catching experts...try catching one of these bare handed!


or these


or these


It's good to have someone around to catch some of the action! Talk about multi-tasking; talking on the phone, playing golf and catching snakes...you don't see that on the PGA!




Here's a few Hondo pics I took with the phone just before/after feeding...

Amel Het ??? (Mega Line) I just love this snake!


Snow (66% Het Hypo, poss Pearl)check out the yellow coming in!
