Gopher Snake close-up on Figueroa Mountain, Santa Ynez, CA One of the most widespread snakes in North America, its range extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, as far north as southern Canada, and as far south as Veracruz, Mexico. This species can reach five to six feet in length, and are among the more “human-friendly” species of North American snakes, mainly due to the fact that they are not venomous, hunt vermin (hence the name) and are easily raised and bred in captivity. When startled or angry, they will hiss very loud and rattle their tails. This is why they are sometimes mistaken for a rattlesnake.Habitat: Found in a wide variety of habitats, including deserts, prairies, woodlands, brushlands, coniferous forests, and even cultivated land. Gopher snakes often live in discarded or conquered gopher holes. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- Consider these images as companions. :-)
This is an Eastern collared lizard, and this particular specimen belongs to a subspecies of the broader genus that inhabits the few remaining glade habitats in southern Missouri’s Ozark Mountains. I personally really like this image because the colorful, lichen covered rocks are just as beautiful as the lizard, and the two together make for a special treat! / /

“S” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © I found this little snake slithering around on my lounge room / floor! After watching him for a while and trying to decide / what to do with him, I thought why not take a photo. I / scooped him up into a plastic container and set it under a / downlight on my kitchen bench which produced these / reflections. Meanwhile my son stood guard to make sure / he didn’t escape before I got this shot by standing on the / benchtop and focusing down into the open container. “Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite / and furthermore always carry a small snake.” / ~ W.

This shot was of a little lizard that were every where over there . / He was getting some rays over looking the coast :)

Physical description: The muzzle of the dwarf crocodile is broad, blunt, and short; hence the name “Broadfronted.” It measures at about 1.20 meters in length; however, some have reached lengths of 1.50-1.80 meters. The dwarf crocodile gets its name because it is the smallest of all crocodiles. With the largest crocodile reaching lengths of 27 feet and weigh up to a ton, it is easy to see how a crocodile of about 3 feet could be dubbed “dwarf.” Alligators and crocodiles are easily confused and exhibit several major physical differences. Alligators have broader heads and blunter snouts. Their lower teeth fit inside the edge of the upper jaw and cannot be seen when the lipless mouth is closed. The crocodile’s fourth tooth in each side of the lower jaw is located lying in a notch in the upper jaw and is always visible. The teeth are used for seizing and holding prey instead of for chewing. They are replaced continuously as new ones grow up, forcing old ones out. Like all crocodiles, the dwarf has rigid teeth and tough scales, which cover the body. During early years of existence, the dwarf crocodile is yellow with a brown tint. The infant dwarf crocodile also has black spots on its belly and back. However, with age, the dwarf crocodile grows to resemble other forms of crocodiles in color. By maturity, the dwarf crocodile is dark brown or black. The scales become harder and the bony palates that protect the back are more dense. RANGE: West Africa

We were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to get this shot. / It is a fairly new practice at the zoo to let the pythons loose on the grassed picnic area for people to see. The keepers are there to answer questions & give a talk. Taken at Perth Zoo, South Perth, Western Australia. I am not sure what snake this is exactly, I was so busy concentrating on getting the shot that i completely missed the keepers talk Lol….Python? Boa Constrictor?

Please view larger! Featured in Collective Collage – September 09 – Thank you very much to the hosts! Found this charming little creature in my garden, they frequent my yellowwood trees. I just love how her skin looks like a gorgeous pebble mosaic in miniature. She was about 10 cm head to tail and full of fiery attitude – suitable for a tiny dragon like this one. I reckon God has such fun with each chameleon he creates, placing their tiny jewel tiles in place on their perfect armour… Taken with my Canon 400D
