My first trip out this year and it was a pretty productive half hour. Saw countless lizards including 1 collard, a few fence lizards and several skinks (I think the one I got a pic of is a 5 lined any input?) 2 western worm snakes. I got a pic of one but the other got away. Man can they dig fast! The one that got away was probably 6"-7". And what I believe to be a western earth snake. Can someone give me a posative I.D.? It was completely patternless with plain brown color. I didn't get a great look but I believe the stomach was white and patternless. The pics aren't great. I forgot my camera and ended up using a friends. I was very surprised to not find any ring neck snakes. Enjoy!

Cool stuff, despite the so-so camera! Supposedly we have Western worm snakes here in WI (SW) -- hope to find one someday. They look very cool.

Looks like a five-lined skink to me. Can't i.d. the last snake, but it could be an earth snake. Hope you find some emoryi this spring.
