Field herping thread

[infernalis]

Rules are as follows. All photographs are to be of wild herps in native surroundings.
No pets on the lawn pictures, no zoo pictures.

I will lead the way with a few field pics from 2012 of my own.

Very nice!

Found these two under a board today while walking my dogs out back.



It was a perfect morning too, the fog was clinging to the hill, breathtaking.

What's keeping you Steve, surely you have some wild radix pics from your back yard??

[guidofatherof5]

I will work on it.

Great pictures!

Is that a typical posture for ring-neck snakes to put their tails into a corkscrew?

Yes, that is a typical defensive position/posture for Diadophis. They musk as well.
