The hot weather in the southern U.S. has brought out some hot weather creatures. I've seen several of these five-lined skinks scurrying about. These little lizards can be found totally motionless, or zooming elsewhere in a blue-tailed blur. The ones I've seen this week have all been in a blurry hurry, so this photo is from the
Virgina Herpetological Society.
This little gray rat snake was not in a hurry when I found it in the carport this morning. Although rat snakes do eat birds and their eggs, this one seemed too small to threaten the wrens nesting nearby. (Photo courtesy of the backyard ecologist household herpetological society.)
