Ok friends.. it was cloudy and breezy today at the S. Tip of Texas.. but not too cool this morning to maybe see an Indigo snake. I gave it a try.
.
I checked out a hole where I had seen a large shed skin this time last year and guess what? .. I found another! .. must be a large animal, judging from the width of the ventral scutes.
.

.
A little later I noticed something suspicious out in the weeds.. can you spot it?
.

.
.. a closer look.
.

.
.. that turned out to be a mature female Indigo snake.. I most always try to get a record of the face and labials..
.

.
.. I also saw this guy.. and I agree with him!
.

.
Thanks and have a great week..

Well, that ALMOST makes me feel warm. Its 37 outside, headed for another hard freeze. I was outside for nearly 2 hours messing with Xmas decorations. Brr, no herps were seen. Outside my house that is.
Actually, it looks like it might be storming down your way right now! LOL

Absolutely AWESOME, Gus!

Just when I was beginning to lose hope, waiting for March/April to arrive- thanks, I needed that!

Very cool Indigo! Have any more shots?

AR,
I am a falconer as well as a herper so appreciate your photo of what I take to be a Harris' Hawk. I am now flying a 9 1/2 year old captive bred female HH and they are a great species for hunting rabbits here in Oregon.

Oh yes, nice photo of the Indigo as well.
