Clip Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 My last 3 post are some the things we (my husband, granddaughter (16) and myself) saw on a recent adventure to the panhandle of Florida. Where we toured a cave, saw the tallest waterfall in Florida. Saw a few sink holes. Took a boat ride into the Gulf. Swam in a couple Springs. Took our first ever canoe trip 6.8 miles self guided. Sadly, no photos of the canoe trip. I was too afraid I would ruin my camera as it rained off and on most of the day. So there was no way to keep it dry. Thanks again to @Seanbirds for helping me id these herps. Gray Ratsnake, Three-lined Salamander and a Common-Five lined Skink. Bringing my herp life list to 61. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops @Clip I just made a huge mistake!! Your lizard is a juvenile Broad-headed Skink, not Five-lined. Sorry! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang it! That means I have to reduce my life list by one. I already had Broad-headed Skink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get the Five-lined, don't worry. They're quite common, as their name implies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actively look for any of the herps I have seen. They have all been while out birding or in this case sightseeing. Love finding them though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Eastern Snapping Turtles mating. In the first photo they are on the bank with the male on top. In the second the male has gone in the water leaving the female on the bank. The 3rd the male is climbing back onto the female and submerging her. In the last only the male is visible presumably on top of her again. He kept her down there along time. We left in case he was keeping her down there due to our presents. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 You gotta hand it to the DNR pilots. It was blowing about 40 mph and they can still dump these buckets with amazing accuracy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 12 hours ago, Seanbirds said: Yup. Cute little guy! You would probably love this time of the year here at our house. My husband goes to mow and probably a hundred babies start jumping into the hedges to avoid the mower. The adults are all over and make you jump often as you only see movement out of the corner of your eye. Then it's oh just another lizard. We see way more Brown Anole than Green. Which should not be the case of course as the Brown are invasive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
