Rainbow Snake

Post by DaneConley »

Spent last weekend searching for erythrogamma, on the last day, was successful.

I saw a large brown watersnake go into some rocks along the water's edge and Ryan (Dracojc) and I spent about a minute looking for it. We pulled some grass out of the way, and at the base of the grass was a black and red tail.

Very nice! Probably a good thing that they are nearly impossible to keep because of their diet, otherwise they would almost certainly be over-collected. Farancia erytrogramma has been on my bucket list of snakes to photograph, or even just see while I don't have access to a camera, for 5 years now and still no success :(. Again, VERY nice snake!
