I was walking around in the garden and came across this baby snake…. I mean, this snake was small… On the top left hand corner… that is a blade of grass…
This young snapping turtle went about 10 inches across the shell, weighed around 2.5 lbs. I photographed him on the road at Bedford Mills, then carefull picked him up and moved him before he was hit. Note the duck-weed and filamentous algae covering his carapace. My wife did not appreciate my "turtle stink" when I got back in the car!
I managed to get quite close to this one before it dashed into the gap between the stones in a wall.

We encountered this beautiful slow worm while walking on Loughrigg Fell. My wife's parents were with us and her dad calmly picked the little creature up to let our children have a better look - just as Alice's grancher had done for her. A magical encounter.
A welcome visitor in my backyard this morning. I think my neighbor didn't know what to think that I ran outside with my camera to take pictures (apparently the garter snake lives in her garage). Possibly a gravid (pregnant) female, she was rather thick bodied but it didn't look like a food bulge. Maybe about 2 ft long. Thamnophis sirtalis, Colubridae. Spring 2013.
I found out that male green iguanas can take on orange color seasonally. This one was particularly orange.
