Southeast Texas is the location. This species of snake is common around here as are these particular frogs. Unfortunate frog in this instance.

I’m in Florida roughy 30 minutes west of Tallahassee and I’m trying to find a coral snake to photograph. I have found well over 30 snake species in Florida but I can never seem to flip any coral snakes. Does anyone have some secret sauce that maybe I should be doing instead of my current approach?

Accidentally picked up this baby eastern slow worm while collecting dead leaves for my millipedes. Immediately released and I changed the spot to not to disturb him anymore. Saw another baby a few meters away, so they were probably born nearby. (Finland)

Considering I saw this while visiting a paranormal museum I was wondering if this was supposed to be there.
