Move along, nothing to see here, just another innocent, unassuming leaf that expects you to please stop noticing it.
Wandering Garter Snake in ambush setting in our living room vivarium.
Colors are just starting to turn red and full peak is a few weeks away still but still provide a nice background for the Canyon train crossing 556 as it rolls southbound.
Last snake photo - promise! I was fascinated by it's eye color.
I'm adding this to the Spotlight Your Best group because while I realize snakes freak people out, I've always liked this photo.

This is a very young captive bred hognose snake.
When it feels threatened it flattens its neck out and looks similar to a cobra. It will rear up and strike at the perceived threat. It is non poisonous and basically bumps into what it is "attacking”.
If this doesn’t work it flops onto its back and plays dead. If you turn it right side up, it flops over again.
This animal will be on display at Rondeau Provincial Park throughout the summer.
A very relaxing morning walk with Richard and Dan interspersed with exciting moments. One of the highlights was the opportunity to photograph this Blue Malayan Coral Snake, which is a beautiful, but highly venomous, front-fanged elapid. It was moving through the forest floor so we were careful to keep our distance and we were also thankful for zoom lenses - Thomson Nature Park, Singapore 🇸🇬

One of the best things I liked about this guy was that it was mostly hidden. Reason being that snakes are difficult subjects because of their length. Some folks like to pick them up, relocate them, and poke at them until they assume a more compact position that allows capturing their whole body while being able to get good detail. But I have a more of a hands-off policy, so I'm always happy to find guys like this that are cooperating in other ways. 'Cause after all, once you've seen the first couple of inches you've pretty much seen it all. So I'll leave it up to your imagination to figure out that this guy comes to a point at it's tail-end.
Rat snake on Powerline Road. Myakka River State Park, Florida
Nice day for a long bike ride. Cool in the morning but getting hot on the return trip.
Yesterday (4-7-16) in the back yard I wasn't watching where I walked, and I set my foot down very close to this 3-foot diamondback rattlesnake. The snake let out a noise that sounded to me like a hiss, and I jumped back. I cannot think of a closer call I have had with these venomous vipers. It made a deep impression on me, and I was thankful the snake withheld striking. In this photo I have saturated the color of the snake a bit to make it more visible. In reality it was dull shades of tan, almost the same color as the dirt, easily overlooked unless one is very alert.
I had to come home and ID this guy. I figured he wasn't poisonous (round pupils) But let him be anyway. Come to find out they are extremely docile. He was only about a foot long and moving slow on this chilly morning.
Coachwhip snake (Masticophis flagellum) aka red racer... which is nonvenomous seen climbing a wall in Baja, Mexico.
Classification: Whip snakes
These snakes are active during the daytime.
Hint: I initially miscounted, and I was right there in front of them. Hint #2: View large
Sorry about the slight blurriness. Once again, the snakes chose to be in an area not conducive to good photography. I wasn't about to manually adjust them either. Shortly after this photo was taken, they took turns crawling out of sight.
My nephew Aidan. He's been playing with snakes.

It was visiting the leaf litter of the lowland rain forest of Manuel Antonio NP. This is a nonvenomous species that spends most of its time in the trees feeding on small birds, lizards, and frogs. It is endemic to Central and South America.
