I was really pleased to get hands on this Cape Crag Lizard (Pseudocordylus microlepidotus microlepidotus), but unfortunately the feeling wasn't mutual. The Cape Crag Lizard inhabits rocky outcrops where it shelters from predators inside rock crevices, venturing out during the day to bask. This individual is from Franschhoek Pass #herping #herpingcapetown #herpingsouthafrica #pseudocordylus #reptiles #conservation #wildlife #southafrica

Over the weekend, I found what was probably one of the most unique looking Eastern Garters (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) I had ever seen. When I flipped the rock and saw this little juvenile, I thought nice, I rarely ever see DeKay’s Browns in the mountains. But after a few seconds, I realized that this cute little critter was actually a Garter. I’ve seen others with similar tannish/brownish colors (especially in the VA, MD, WV mountains), but I don’t think I’ve seen ‘em without any of the black colors that can be seen in at least some of the scales (even if only a little). Point being, even though there are definitely scientific reasons & explanations for some of these color variations, I guess they just don’t make Garters in other places like they do in the mountains! I only wish I would’ve been able to spend more time with the critter and perhaps get it to pose, but it was getting late, I had to hit the road, and I didn’t want to stress it out anymore than I already had. #Snakes #GarterSnakes #Reptiles #Herping #FieldHerping #SpringHerping #AprilSnakes #WildlifePhotos #WildlifePhotography #HerpsOfTheDMV #SnakesOfTheDMV #ReptilesOfTheDMV #2024Herping #HikingAdventures #HikingForHerps

"Zviiit .... Zviiit " après les pluies du mois d'avril, retentit le chant aiguie et strident de la Centrolène de Kaw (Hyalinobatrachium kawense). Une petite grenouille de verre, qui jusqu'à récemment était considérée comme très rare et endémique du Nord est de la Guyane. Pourtant celle ci est finalement très commune, mais son chant est si ténu, et celle ci est si discrète ( pas plus de 2 cm) qu'elle est souvent passé inaperçu. Si aujourd'hui son chant ne nous échappe plus, elle reste très difficile à voire. Une minuscule boule verdâtre qui pousse son cris à 5 mètre au dessus des criques. Une fois accouplé, c'est la mâle qui surveillera la ponte. - - #hyalinobatrachium #hyalinobatrachiumkawense #centrolenidae #glassfrog #ranadecristal #cristalfrog #herping #herpingtheglobe #endemic #frenchguiana #guyane #grenouilledeverre #rainette #grenoulle #anoure #anoura #herpetology #amphibia

Rhinoderma darwinii - Parque Nacional Puyehue, Región de los Ríos. Como primer anfibio que subo, quería dejar registro de mi encuentro con la famosa Ranita de Darwin. En un paseo improvisado, con poca preparación (no lleve parca), en medio del Parque Nacional Puyehue, en uno de los senderos cuyo nombre ya no recuerdo (solo que había un puente cortado), se largo a llover. A mí, por supuesto, la lluvia no me molestaba, después de todo, era un agrado sentir gotas en la cara tras años de sequía. La cámara no estaba muy de acuerdo conmigo, así que, viendo que el bolso no soportaba la lluvia lo suficiente y que los árboles no nos cubrían completamente, decidimos devolvernos (también eran como las 4 de la tarde y no habíamos almorzado/llevado almuerzo). Pero yo sabía que este era un momento especial. A medida que la humedad logró tocar el suelo de la selva valdiviana, cientos de voces se elevaron para cada uno cantar su propia obra: el bosque se inundó de un coro de ranas y sapos. Emocionada por tal suceso, entre cada acelerada para no mojarnos tanto, observaba atentamente, en busca de alguno de los cantantes, especialmente si significaba ver alguna especie que no alcanza a llegar al campo. Sin embargo, ninguna parecía querer mostrarse. En nuestra vuelta, las nubes se disiparon para darle paso al sol nuevamente, iluminando pequeños trazos de claros en medio del bosque. Entre ellos, en un tronco oscurecido, cubierto de musgo y gotas, una curiosa hoja llamó mi atención. Fue cuando, tras fijar la mirada, me di cuenta lo que realmente estaba viendo. Sinceramente no podía creerlo. Casi pego un grito y muy feliz, le dije a mis compañeros lo que estaba viendo. Oculto a plena vista, entre el musgo, me devolvía la mirada. El resto, creo que se expresa bien en estas fotos. #faunachilena #faunadechile #wildlifechile #photography #herping #herpingchile #anfibioschilenos #rhinoderma #rhinodermadarwini #herpetology #chilenativo #ranitadedarwin #anfibia #anfibiosdechile
Two gorgeous Northern Watersnake specimens (Nerodia sipedon sipedon). Common Watersnakes are found widely across the eastern and central United States. Like most watersnakes they are well known for their defensive attitudes and resemblance to the venomous CottonMouth and Copperhead. Contrary to the majority of other snakes; New-world watersnake species, like the Northern Watersnake, are viviparous. Viviparous meaning they give birth to live young. #herping #watersnake #northernwatersnake #herp #herps #herptology #biology
🎨🐢The Western Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta bellii) is one of three subspecies of painted turtle that emerged after the last Ice Age, around 11,000 years ago. 🐢 🐢🐢 Speaking of Ice Age, these turtles can survive long winters in below-freezing temperatures thanks to specialized liver proteins and “cryoprotectants” that help regulate the formation of ice crystals in their blood! 🌡️🧊 🥶 Painted turtles have been roaming North American wetlands for at least 15 million years according to fossil records 🦴🔍📝 More recently, the Western Painted Turtle became the official state reptile of Colorado in 2008 🎨🐢! #colorfulcolorado #paintedturtle #westernpaintedturtle #reptile #turtle #colorado #coloradostatereptile #coloradowildlife #herping #wildlife #wildlifephotography #canon #canonrebel #canonrebelt6 #canoncamera #canonphotography #naturephotography #nature

Lifer Spotted As a lover of all reptiles, especially turtles, one of my goals is to find all species of turtles native to New Jersey. I have most checked off, even the critically endangered Bog Turtle, but one that I’ve been missing is the Spotted Turtle. Well, that was until today when I found this guy basking in the warm spring sun! Like a handful of other turtles in the state, spotted turtles are often targeted by poachers for the pet trade and are illegally taken when found. While not nearly as rare as Bog Turtles, these small freshwater turtles are a species of special concern in New Jersey and should not be taken out of the wild. 🐢Spotted Turtle Clemmys guttata 🗺️Burlington County, NJ 🗓️4/28/2024 #spottedturtle #clemmysguttata #pinebarrens #pinebarrensnj #wildlifephotography #herplife #herping #turtle #reptilephotography #njnature #wildlifeconservation

En la foto 1 y 2 tenemos solo a la rana y a la percha, por lo que la misma resalta mucho. De hecho, el animal es el elemento principal. . En las últimas fotos intenté hacer una composición con diferentes elementos. En este caso, la rana y la vegetación crean una composición con diferentes niveles jerárquicos que ayudan a leer lo que sucede en la imagen y también enriquecen la fotografía. . Me encantan las últimos, pero me cuesta jugar bien con los elementos. A veces, uno puede estropear una foto con este tipo de composiciones. De todos modos, yo solo disfruto compartir fotografías e información con la gente, así que díganme si a ustedes también les gusta. . . 🇺🇲 We have two different kinds of pictures here. In Photo 1 and 2, we have just the frog and the perch, so the frog stands out a lot. In fact, the animal is the main element. . In the last pictures, I tried to make a composition with different elements. In this case, the frog and the vegetation create a composition with different hierarchical levels that help you to read what it is happening in the picture and also make the picture richer. . I love the last ones, but for me it is difficult to play well with the elements. Sometimes, you can mess up a photo with this kind of compositions.

A few pictures of the many Side-blotched Lizards (Uta stansburiana) I encountered while hiking through Red Rock Canyon in Nevada.

I was absolutely THRILLED to have found this species. If you dont know what this species is, its called the Green Jararaca, Bothrops bilineatus. Out of all the snakes i've seen here @hojanueva this one has taken the crown so far, itll be hard to beat. Everything about this snake is stunning, the fact that the speckling continues on in the eyes is INSANE, it just goes to show how well camoflauged this species can be. Smaller than I expected only reaching around 60cm, but wow small and beautiful. - I also just want to say how much I am enjoying using my new Laowa 65mm Macro from @venuslaowa it has gotten such crisp detail on all the species ive photographer im honestly stunned by this small lenses capabilites. - #greenjararaca #viper #hojanueva #wildlifephotography #snakes #herping #peruwildlife #perutravel #wildlifephotographer #peruvianamazon #madrededios #bothropsbilineatus #venomoussnakes #nikonz50 #nikonphotography #laowa65mm

Sometimes you just have to wait... I happened to snag this common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) in the shallows at the edge of the creek behind the house. As most turtles do, it retreated into its shell, hoping I couldn't bite through his protective armor and would leave it alone. After some shots of it in the shell (photos 5 and 6), I decided to put it down next to the water, then stand a few feet away with my camera ready to see if it would move. What I got was 30 minutes of this turtle slowly poking its head out, keeping its eye on me and never moving its legs, wary I might pounce again once its fragile head was exposed. It didn't move, and I eventually decided to keep hiking, leaving it there to feel a bit safer. It's a fun case for reptiles having personalities. Some musk turtles try to bite and run the whole time you hold them; others retreat into their shells and wait for danger to pass. There's been actual studies to show reptiles, amphibians, and many other creatures aren't as simple-minded as once thought. #turtle #turtles #reptile #reptiles #herp #herps #herper #herping #fieldherping #herpetology #herpsofinstagram #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #nature #wildlifeconservation #conservation #naturalist #biology #ecology #animal #animals #animalphotography #muskturtle #commonmuskturtle #turtlesofinstagram #reptilesofinstagram #reptilephotography #wildlifeofinstagram #personality

Two-striped Garter Snake (Thamnophis hammondii)- Southern California A highly aquatic species of garter snake found along the Central Coast of California south into parts of Baja California. While abundant in some areas, these snakes have been extirpated from some parts of their historic range due to habitat loss. On a personal note, this snake represents one of the few remaining Thamnophis species and subspecies I have yet to see in the state. California boasts the largest species diversity of garter snakes in North America and many are quite localized in certain regions. This snake was observed basking in a riparian zone within fairly xeric creosote scrub / mixed oak grassland chaparral.

Plain-Bellied Water Snake(Nerodia erythrogaster) -harmless Erthrogaster meaning red-bellied better describes the vibrant undersides of these snakes, though the common name does help distinguish this species from other Nerodia which have checkered bellies. It’s been reported that they can give live birth to as many as 50 neonates in one litter! Linzey and Clifford(1981) First intentional find of the season for me, apart from a few not so photogenic skinks. Hopefully many more to come. With warmer weather ahead of us I plan on trying to document more herpetofauna and wild life. #herpingtheglobe #reptiles #herping #nerodia #nature

Little bit of a late post but here we go. Picked these babies up last weekend at the Bradenton @repticonreptileshows from @foundationboas , thank you Kathy and @dennyrimes. Can probably say it's the best way to get involved into the vpi gene. Please go follow them and ask them for boas, they have some of the best deals and genetics out there. Most of them produced by @theboaphile . #boa #boaconstrictor #vpiboa #boas4life #boasarebetterthanpythons #boamafia #boamorph #img #imgboa #anery #aneryboa #future #breeder #collection #python #reticulatedpython #genetics #redtailboa #herping #hobby #pasion #livingart #nature #photography
