A wary little skink peeps out between two flowerpots.

Our former home was a log house with a wide front porch. When I sat on the porch reading, if I kept very still, tiny baby skinks would come out to sun themselves. They were unbelievably small and delicate, with bright blue tails, and feet so microscopic it seemed they couldn't be real. They'd settle down on their tummies, wiggle a few times to get comfy, then press their legs against their bodies and doze.

#reptiles #photography #skinks

The head and shoulders of a brown and tan lizard enter the image from behind a flowerpot at the left. He is sleek and elegant. Dark brown bands sweep backward from his head like racing stripes. His bright eye looks like a dark glass marble in an intricate setting of polished scales. Behind his jaw we see the opening of his ear. He is watching and listening.

Why did the turtle cross the road.

I came across this three-toed box turtle (Terrapene triunguis) while takin Ben to his appointment this morning. The turtle was crossing the road just down from our house. I stopped took a couple photos with my iPhone. The pick the turtle up and set it on the side of the road where it was headed. I worried that somebody would drive down the road and run it over.

"From the west to the east of its range, the three-toed box turtle can be found from eastern Texas to the northern edge of the Florida Panhandle. Its northernmost range is in Missouri and Kansas, while the southernmost one is in Louisiana. Three-toed box turtles interbreed with other subspecies of common box turtles which overlap the borders of this area. An example of this occurs in the eastern Mississippi valley, where this species is difficult to distinguish from the eastern box turtle. " - https://animalia.bio/three-toed-box-turtle

This is a relatively small turtle, I picked it up with one hand, fingers on either side of its shell. It's mostly green but its head and front feet are more colorful, with yellow and red markings. In this photo, the turtle is crossing a gravel and dirt road, you can see the track it made moving itself along the ground. Only its front feet are visible in this photograph.

Three-toed box turtles are so named due to the number of toes on the back feet, but some think that there are some four-toed examples too. "However, some speculate that the four-toed individuals are actually eastern box turtle × three-toed box turtle hybrids. Three-toed box turtles have a domed shell which grows to 5-7″ (13-18cm) in length. The highest part of its carapace or upper shell is more posteriorly positioned than in any of the other subspecies. The dorsal and limb coloration is commonly completely absent, although some dark blotches are common in adult turtles. These areas more often being a uniform olive green or tan color. Sometimes, faint yellow dots or lines are visible in the center of each large scute. In the males, the head and throat often display yellow, red, or orange spots. Frequently, the bottom shell or plastron is a straw yellow color and has far fewer dark markings than the plastrons of the other subspecies." - https://animalia.bio/three-toed-box-turtle

So there's a bunch of bot accounts that post animal photos every hour. Which is all well and good, except that it's the usual suspects - cats, dogs, wolves... I think I saw one for possums, but I'm not sure.

But where's all the cool "not the same boring fuzzy mammals" photo bots? I humbly request more neat #reptiles, and to a lesser extent, what about hourly #isopod , #corvid , and/or #shark photos?

I'd do it myself if I weren't so lazy : /

My #ballpython has finally awoken from her months-long stupor and seems ready to roam around my apartment again. Her period of low activity seemed to coincide with the European winter and the West African dry season, which is when wild pythons are documented to be less active.

I wonder if humidity levels play a role in influencing her activity, as it’s dryer in winter due to heating, or if she’s only out more because my place has gotten nice and toasty due to the summer heat. #snake #reptiles

IRL unable to work, anti-capitalist and liable to rant about disabled people's rights sometimes!! Ableists begone :goose_knife: I also love animals especially #reptiles and i currently have a pet #cornsnake who I might post pics of on occasion! 🫶

My main fandom posting habit will be #SWTOR so if you post content for that & would like more followers/moots, hit me up!

Kolubrid Korner: Western ribbon snake. This one was VERY tiny, no fatter than my pinkie finger and about 18” long. I love how, as a rule, members of the garter genus so obligingly condescend to pose for me as I laboriously hunker down to ground level and constantly press the wrong buttons on my phone. Like, “this old battle-axe has bad knees, let’s cut her a break.”

Oh hello there.

Came within a nanosecond of steppin’ on this guy. It was lying motionless across the path and my peripheral vision took it for a stick. Luckily my lizard brain kicked in with more accurate intel in the nick of time and stayed my feckless foot.

Hadn’t seen this species out here before. I’m no snakespert, but the Seek App claims it’s a black-necked garter. About 2 feet long and quite striking.

I sustained about half a dozen fire ant stings while crouching down to take this photo. Can’t believe my agonized flailing didn’t scare off my subject, but charitably it posed until I was finished, then slithered gracefully into the grass.

On the same Museum of Science naturalist hike at Holly Shelter yesterday, we saw an interesting variety of wildlife! A slider turtle, a pygmy rattlesnake!, a cool Beetle that lives in the Longleaf Pine bark, and a little garter snake.

PS the reason the Garter Snake and turtle are being held, is they were laying in the middle of a road so the naturalist was showing them to us before moving them into a safe spot.

He looks like a living #mosaic. A green #iguana in his spectacular colors of the breeding season. In #Florida they are considered a nuisance in part because they eat a lot of #bird eggs. In areas where there are nesting birds there are usually at least a couple per tree waiting for the right moment. They sure are pretty though.

Jesus Christ Lizard, named for its ability to walk or should I say run across water in order to escape danger. He apparently wasn't feeling endangered because he posed and let me capture all of his beautiful detail. Even the tiny scales around his eyes, just extraordinary.

A Green Crested Lizard (Bronchocela cristatella) spotted at MacRitchie Reservoir Park, Singapore, on 1 Feb 2023. It ignored the human taking shots of it, and nonchalantly climbed a branch, looking for food.

The Green Crested Lizard is a forest species, and there is some local concern the more widespread (introduced) Changeable Lizard may displace it.

Water dragons

Over the last few years a large population of water dragons has established itself along the urban banks of the Brisbane River, and they're pretty confident of their territory.

In these dog walking shots, a pair of dragons, and The Triumvirate.

A pair of water dragon lizards basking on boulders at the river's edge. Both are stretched out on the sunward faces of the rocks, inclined at about thirty degrees, heads erect and outlined against the background, which is the rippled surface of the Brisbane River.

Three water dragons in varying poses basking on riverside rocks, their heads all outlined against the river behind them. The leftmost dragon is facing the camera, but only its top half is visible above the rock's edge. The middle dragon is completely hidden except for its head, which is poking out from behind its rock, while the third dragon is completely visible, stretched out away from the camera, facing the river.

And the last bit of the #BbcWorldService bulletin is currently about #lizards (the last piece tends to be often the best ;-)
A fossil which lay undiscovered in a cupboard in London's Natural History Museum for half a century has advanced modern understanding of the origins of #reptiles. The bones suggest this type of lizard existed nearly 35 million years earlier than previously thought. Analysis shows the long-tailed creature was about 25 cm long, with sharp teeth. It has the hallmarks (cont.)
