Two reptile day

Yesterday was a two reptile day for me. Even though, I did not really see the rattlesnake in the grass, I am counting it. 😉 So here is the snake that I actually did see. Jim spotted it as Gracie walked right over it. Speckled Kingsnake (Lampropeltis holbrooki) was its name! So exciting to meet…

I will continue on with the July 20th outing. As the title suggests, in this post we had a snake encounter of sorts. I have not seen many snakes this year. Maybe a half dozen total, but each time was a delight. Keep looking!
