Not sure what this is , or if I'd is correct? I came across these in a puddle in the middle of the 🌵 & I thought was a type of tadpole. Very bizarre I just had to bring a few home so I could get better pic, I couldn't get a pic in the muddy water. Any feedback on these guys? The puddle was drying up and would soon be dead. Main reason why I collected them also. Looks like a living fossil.
Definitely not sure on this one.
Started the night with 2 🐍s .... ended the night with 2 🐸s...
Wow! One of the bigger ones I've seen, that's for sure. #2 for the night...
1st ten mins on the trail... This guy in ambush mode.
Well this is a 1st, a rattlesnake with no "rattle" definitely appears to be a really old wound. Man I hope wasn't intentional! Go roam the desert 🌵 Mr. Atrox....
Wow, yet another on my morning walk... This one has some coloration, that I've nvr seen before. Some really nice rust reds. I'm guessing to mimic that of the landscape around him? Do these guys change colors like most other lizards?
Along the Julian dr. Wash...
Omfg DOR/DOT(Dead on Trail) baby gila!!! This ruined my flippn night!!! Like 9in SMH!!! Man Mother Nature can really hurt sometimes!! 😭 😭
The longnose were out in full force tonight. I stopped taking pics after 4th one...
Only glimpse I could get of this guy before making his/her way down a hole.
On the bike trail this morning. My damn phone died , so this was only pic I was able to get.
Another "black phase" that had obviously just feasted on something big. I'm guess that's why it didn't flee like most always do. I'm still on the fence about the Id of these being western & not Sonoran..... either way very beautiful snake.
