Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I just wanted to share a few photographs that I took while I was in Tucson, AZ a month ago.

This was the first time I've seen a completely black Coachwhip! Normally, in Arizona, I see red Coachwhips....and in Florida I've seen the typical black head, fading towards the tail, to a light sandy brown.

This one was after some baby Cactus Wrens...but they both were able to narrowly escape.

Hope you enjoy the following Coachwhip pictures:

Here are a few other shots I got while I was in Arizona…

Some Rattlesnakes:

Some Lizards:

Some Amphibians:
