I think that's a juvenile racer, or maybe coachwhip.

Yeah, that's a male Red-eared Slider. Old boys tend to go melanistic like that, though the carapace still has some neat color on that one.

Yes it was cool looking...I let it go about its way after looking. I'd love to know how old it was.

My guy says it looks like a juvenile Western Coachwhip.
I won't let him know that I love all these pictures of the lizards, turtles and frogs more than the snakes. (I guess 'cause we have about 10,000 snake pics and I'm sick of looking at them!)

Was in the area yesterday so I swung by Jean Lafitte National Park. Wasn't really dressed for a long walk so I just did the visitor center trail, which is about 30 minutes long each way. I saw 11 snakes - 5 Broad-Banded water snakes, 3 Ribbons, and 3 Black-Masked Racers. Took some photos on my phone, but my computer and photobucket are screwed up for some reason. If I can get it working I'll post a few. Probably the most snakes I've seen there in one day, especially on that trail.

I haven't had a lot of luck lately. But, here's a few recent finds. Turtles are out everywhere, laying eggs, I guess.
Eastern box turtle
Common snapping turtle
Southern painted turtle
Yellow bellied water snake
Midland rat snake
Bullfrog

Here are two photos from the weekend.
Internet search points to this being a banded water snake.
I couldn't identify this frog with an internet search. Any idea?

I believe it's a Bullfrog. Green/Bronze frogs are similar, but have ridges that run down their backs.

Rat snake that looked like he needed a meal on Hippie Point Trail at Toledo Bend. Doing his kinked posture after my two dogs ran right over him.

That's a skinny snake. How long was it?

He was doing what they normally do but had let go. They normally bite the nape and hang on like here:
