Does anyone have any Short-tailed snakes?

They are a protected species here in FL.

Here's one I found a few years ago.

I have not seen one of these yet. I've seen all sorts of things near my house but not those. I found one little snake that was all red. I had to look that one up, it was a pine woods snake. That was a first for me. Another rarity though not a snake is the Florida sand skinks. Tiny little things, and I think they are protected also. Thanks again for the pic!

Yeah, I've caught several Pine Woods snakes around my area in the past. One winter I flipped a log and I could just see the snake coiled up inside the rotted bark. Another time I found one in my buddy's flower garden in the mulch in Ft. Pierce.

Very cool little snakes that are usually very placid and easy-going when handled. Mildly venomous(rear-fanged) as well.

They can be pretty variable just like most snakes too.

I was thinking that was a very strong possibility, but wasn't 100% sure.

That was a nice specimen you photographed some time ago....congrats!

Mark, can you repost that pic that Doug is referring to. Would be greatly appreciated, I have been hoping on my field herping days I will have a chance of finding one but so far no luck. That will be a lifer for sure.
