Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I haven't been on here much, because I've been out field herping as much as I can down here in Florida (and a few places that I have traveled to). Not exactly a new hobby for me, but Florida brings it to a new level compared to the corn fields of Indiana where I first got into it.

Here are a few highlights.

American Alligator

Six-lined racerunner

Carolina Watersnake

Black Rat Snake

Yellow Rat Snake

Iguana

Scarlet Kingsnake

Florida Cottonmouth

Coachwhip

And, I have seen this last one a lot. My pet hobby Hondo.

Some cool pictures! Thanks for sharing. Pretty scarlet king you found there.

That is one gorgeous elapsoides...
was that from northwest florida?
that is usually where I have found that tangerine/apricot phase.
very nice!

It was found in Alachua County, so I wouldn't exactly call that northwest Florida.

Great shots, I can't believe you got a pic of a Coachwhip, they are usually on the move the second you see one!

Coachwhips are by far the most challenging snake (for me) to catch.

The pic you have of the Black Rat...could it be a melanistic yellow rat?

Yes I realize that they are supposed to be the same, but I'm wondering if you found the "black rat" in a primarily "yellow rat" area.

Just wondering, thanks,

No the black rat was from NC, not Yellow Rat country.
