Came across this diamondback in ANF mid-May.

Managed to get my first coral snake outside of the state of Florida in SE Georgia in the beginning of June.

Pygmies are consistently my most commonly encountered snake while in ANF, with days where I'll see upwards of a dozen or more. Here's a couple for now.


I managed to get my lifer mimic glass lizard, and have managed 2 more since then. Here's the second individual I came across, in perfect shape with it's original tail.

2nd day of July I managed my 2nd southern hognose of the year.

Found this real stunner of an eastern garter snake while cruising around locally where I live.

Came across this canebrake with Nick Scobel while we were in ONF one evening in mid-July.

A few more pygmies.





My last trip to ANF was with my dad, who was hoping to see pygmies, we saw a dozen including 3 neonates, but the highlight of the night was this little hatchling kingsnake I spotted on the shoulder of the road.


Also wanted to share a few non-herp photos I've taken as of late. I've really been expanding into astrophotography a lot as of late, here's a few astro shots with some other stuff mixed in.












To wrap it up, here's a test shot of something I plan to do as much as I am allowed, it's rough, but it's a start and as I learn PS some more and practice this more often I'll hopefully have some better shots to share.

Update*
This past Monday I went to cruise an area north of me in hopes of finally getting my first Georgia canebrake alive. The moment I got to the area I came across my 6th DOR for the state, but a couple hours later I finally managed to get a live yearling canebrake.

The next day I went back hoping for either an adult or a neonate and I scored a neonate canebrake soon after getting to the area.


Then with the cool front we've had this week, I decided to try find another simus and ended up cruising a hatchling coral snake instead.

Thanks for looking, and hope y'all enjoyed.
