--Not that they ever do.....but, I discovered its hiding spot today beneath the tarp that covers the firewood. It was pretty upset about the whole thing--after a couple of shots I covered it back up and left it alone.
I got bored at home doing some house work, it was extremely overcast but temps were in the low 60's so I headed out for a hike at the West Bloomfield Woods Preserve, Hike/Bike area to see what was out. Glad I did, a day outdoors, no matter what the weather is better than staying indoors.
happy new year to all of you!

Bolivar Shorebird Sanctuary, Galveston County, Texas
As I was on my return from the far end of the Bolivar Shorebird Sanctuary Beach to the car I stopped short seeing this creature. I believe it has just finished laying its eggs up the beach. Looking at its mouth it is covered in sand. As it happens Houston Audubon has much of the beach roped off to protect nesting areas. This little lady was on the other side. She watched me for several seconds then perceived it was safe and she continued her journey to the bay. Once departed I moved to her track in the sand and could see where they disappeared into the protected area. I don't know how far back they went as I respected the rope line but these two factors lead me to believe she was leaving eggs behind...Good Luck to them.

A stunning Green Pit Viper (Trimeresurus albolabris) photographed in its natural habitat during a morning hike in Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand. Perched high in a tree, this venomous yet elusive snake displayed its vivid green scales and characteristic reddish tail tip. An incredible encounter in one of Thailand's most biodiverse regions.
We have a habit of taking wildlife pics even when we're on vacation. This is a Spiny-tailed House Gecko with a regrown tail in Pulau Besar, Johor, Malaysia.
