    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello, I'm new to these forums but I just thought I'd share some pictures I have taken of wild herps around where I live. I am 15 and am considering photography as a later profession, so any critique/comments are much welcome =). Some of these are just snapshots, but I have included some of my better pictures. Hope you like!

Anoles, they are everywhere here in Florida!

A toad. Does anybody keep these as pets? They eat pretty much any kind of insect and are all over the place.

Some sort of big slimy tree frog.

Tree frogs feasting at the light!

The worst picture but afraid it was the best I could do, it was a small (I believe) Water Moccasin so I didn't feel like getting any closer, or try to push the grass aside.

Nice shots of some beautiful herps!
The snake in your photo is a non venomous juvenile water snake (Nerodia) but when in doubt it's always wise to keep your distance.

Good work, Keep it up.
 
Oh! Haha, well it's a good thing it wasn't a Water Moccasin, because although it doesn't look like it I was pretty close to him. Heh, oh well, see what I do? Risk my life (or so I thought..) for crappy photo's!
 
Actually, the tree frogs picture kicks butt! Your 'big slimy tree frog' is also a great shot. Well done on the pictures...keep clickin' that shutter! (or digicam button...whichever..) :)
 
Very nice pics, your pics make me really miss living in FL. Well, your pics and the masses of snow outside. :(
