Eastern Fence Lizard.
Hi Cheryl. This is a great sighting. Red-bellied Snakes are poorly understood in Connecticut. They are probably more common than we think but records are scattered throughout the state. I would like to add this record to the Herpetological Education and Research Project. We maintain a database of records for North American herps. If you are interested in allowing me to enter this record, please contact me at ctherpatlas at gmail dot com.
Yup. It's a wood frog.
Yes, it is a cuban treefrog.
It's not a painted turtle, but a Red-eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)
Yeah, it's a young Green Frog.
It's a juvenile Cottonmouth. The yellow tail tip is used to lure in prey, such as frogs. As the snake matures it loses the yellow tip.
Eastern Garter. A juvenile. Eastern garters are highly variable in color and pattern, with some specimens being more checkered than others.
It is an eastern milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum)
Yeah, it's a Green Treefrog.
