Also of note, but no pictures, I did see a black racer that looked to be between 5 and 6 feet long crossing the road about 2 or 3 minutes before catching the greenish rat. It was way too quick for me to even get a picture of it. There were a few others I spotted as they fled my presence in into the swampier areas. From what I could see they were either water moccasins or water snakes, but I wasn't able to see enough of their bodies to get an ID on them.
I also spotted a couple green anoles on Ocracoke, but once again they were too flighty for me to even get pictures of them.
