Oh cool I found one of these killing another one at my grandparents house in the country pretty cool!
Cool spotting, but it should be in the reptile section not amphibians.
Do you know which species of Caecilian this is? You may be correct and this is only a suggestion but do you think it could be a Brahimny blind snake, they are native to africa and asia but have been introduced in many other places. What ever it is it is a cool spotting!
Hmm now that I go back and look this may be a mud turtle I will determine it later
Yeah this was a sad find :(
I am positive this is not a rat snake but either a lake Erie watersnake or a northern water snake
It is cool to see species in their natural environment that elsewhere are invasive
Crotalus cerestes is the sidewinder this is a timber or canebreak rattlesnake cool spotting, But I would not consider it luck that he was not bit these snakes are very submissive and layed back as long as left alone the chance of a bite is little to none am glad the snake was observed and not harmed!
Awesome spotting and no the telling the age or a rattle snake by number of rattles is incorrect rattlesnakes shed multiple times a year and each shed they gain a rattle even though they are born with one rattle called a button they may also lose rattles while eating hunting etc.
It was cool, the one problem was that when uncovered they had an attitude biting me and each other!
