| Or anyone else who feels confident on snake ID's! There have been a couple of snake questions at the Florida Forum site lately, and if you are around, Wayne, I wondered if you could take a look and see if I figured them out correctly.
Here is a link to the first post. Hope you'll check it out for us!
Thanks,
Marcia

| Here's another link to a recent post. I'm pretty sure on this one, as well as the first one, but would love a real herper to comment, as well. I LOVE when folks at Florida Garden post photos and ask for info on snakes, instead of grabbing a shovel to bash them with. So I always try to help when I can, and opinions on my ID's is always welcome, along with any interesting info that might help educate folks. Thanks!

| Yes, that is definately an Eastern Hognose Snake (Heterodon platirhinos) - great find! |

| Thanks, guys! I felt confident about the hognose, and I THOUGHT I had puzzled out the itsy-bitsy snake, too, as a baby crowned snake, but it turned out it was a baby Florida brown snake, instead. A new one for me! Glad to have learned about it, and I appreciate the help from you folks! I try every chance I get to tell the Florida Garden forum about our snakes and to encourage people to refrain from bashing them with shovels. I'm familiar with many of our snakes, but this little juvie brown snake fooled me. And the hognose took me a little bit of study, as I'm used to the more common silvery coloration of our southern hognose. Thanks again for your help! Always something new to learn. Marcia |
