Critter pix for Python

[7rider]

Hey, Python.
I thought of you today.
DH spotted this handsome fellow in our front yard.
He's a common garter snake - about 40 cm long.
Was nice to see a healthy, happy critter after a ride where we saw too much flattened fauna for my taste!

Awww. He's lovely

Lucky you having snakes come into your garden

We get Adders (venomous) and Grass Snakes (non-venomous) here in the UK but you hardly ever see them. They're also protected by Law.

There was a lady who got more than she bargained for a few years back. She'd bought a Christmas Tree from a local plantation. She was busy decorating it in her living room when out fell three baby Adders They'd been coiled up in the tree hibernating and the heat of her living room woke them up.

They were taken back to the forest by the RSPCA and released there.

I think they were much more interesting than the usual baubles

We've only ever seen black snakes, a ring neck snake (unfortunately, he fell into a bucket in our basement and we found him some unknown time later - very dried out and well preserved! He's our basement mascot now! ), and garters. All non-venomous and quite beneficial for keeping the creepy-crawlies at bay.
Not necessarily protected by law, but they'll always be protected in our yard, if we have anything to say about it!

Yikes!

I don't have photos handy of my other critters right now, but these are some pics of my dear sweet merlin. She used to climb up on her castle and look so noble. She was a wee bit of a dragon at the time probably only a few weeks old (much too young to have been sold I found out) I'm glad I have these pictures of her. Somewhere I have photos of my other dragons and some of my other lizards, but I'm not up to looking for them to take digitals, I just by chance have digitals of wee baby merlin.

I like the Bearded Dragons but haven't got any - yet. My son likes them and did say a while back that he'd like to get a couple. He's got 4 Cornsnakes in his vivarium I mean bedroom

I have those in my yard too.
That's amazing resolution on that shot! What camera are you using?
