Looks like his efforts the last cpl of weeks are going to pay off...called in him a lady friend. Or is that a bullfrog maybe? Think the original one is a bronz/green.

Good place for it.

This large cottonmouth was along side a creek I was fixing to cross. It slid in and stayed under water. Was going to wait it out just out of curiosity to see how long it would stay submerged but didn’t.

This little guy jumped on me when I opened the door this morning. After doing some googling, it looks like maybe a barking tree frog. I’ve never seen one and apparently this area (Abita Springs) is the far western edge of their range. Beautiful

Critters have been active...here are a few from the past week and a half...
Caught this ring-neck under a partially mulched log where I had some land cleared (skid steer mulcher) - don’t know how he stayed in one piece.
Finding these Mississippi Slimy Salamanders all over the place.
Took a short walk by the creek and saw Old Reliable - in the same spot every time I go.
On the way back from the creek, I caught this black racer...
...then took about 10 steps and caught another black racer.
Likewise, saw this beautiful big broad-headed skink..
...then a couple minutes later ran across another.
Living on my acreage is everything I dreamed it would be.

Dude, that seems like one awesome place if you are walking around finding all of that!
We have some of the Plestidon skinks hanging around the house, but have never been able to catch one to get a good enough look at it to see if it's a broad-headed or five-lined. We have one big ole bastard that mocks me by sitting in my driveway sunning himself...

I have “evolved” enough to not kill moccasins I find in remote areas, but must admit I blasted one to bits this past weekend at our pond where the kids like to fish. Right before then I came upon a pretty black runner stretched out sunning and watched him for a bit then he slithered off. I’ve even gotten better at IDing (and hence not killing) those banded water snakes that are dumb enough to actually try and mimic moccasins.

Had a very diverse day last week - up until then I had only seen cottonmouths (30+) when I walk the creek.
First find was odd - a DeKay’s brown snake in a tree overhanging the water.
Found my first ribbon snake as well, which is odd because I would have expected to see a lot more of these.
Caught my first diamondback water snake since I’ve moved to Folsom...
...then followed up with another.
Ran across 2 cottonmouths and was able to catch one.
Also caught another cottonmouth the previous day. This fatty was on my trails so I relocated it.
This was the most I’ve caught in a single day since I moved here at the end of last summer, which was cool because I brought along a guest who had flown in to hang out with us.

Same reason people catch and release fish - it’s fun!
Around half that I catch are on my trails that my kids/grandkids ride on and I catch them to relocate them. The other half are on the creek behind my property (no threat) and I catch them, usually take a photo, and release them in the same place - strictly for fun.
I promise that when I finally get bit, I will post a thread here and document it all the way through from bite to conclusion - death, dismemberment, whatever. Well...probably won’t post the conclusion if it’s death, but that’s unlikely.

Found my first green snake in years this morning. Ran across 3 cottonmouths - 1 was on my trails so I caught and relocated it. Second one I’ve caught recently that was missing an eye.
