Believe it or not, I've just recently downloaded the photos from my camera. Here are some of the interesting things we did and interesting creatures we found:
I almost ordered two slices because I didn't believe that they were "as big as your head". |
David and Lisle appreciating the alligators |
Sarah took us swimming at Wakulla Springs. We were all brave enough to high dive. |
There I was, expecting a honky-tonk. What a disappointment. |
A lifer for me: Pig Frog (Lithobates Grylio) |
A handsome juvenile Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus) |
Matt demonstrating the art form of laying out "rock snakes" to trick other cars searching for snakes at night. Classic. |
The snake we were after: The Pigmy Rattlesnake (Sistrurus miliarius) |
Sarah studies how these snakes' venom is locally adapted to their prey |
Pigmy is a good descriptor. Here are four adult snakes at the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. |
Another lifer for me: Little Grass Frog (Pseudacris ocularis). I thought the first one I saw was an insect jumping through the grass. |
Sarah gets the royal treatment during the half of the year she spends in Florida at Stetson University. |
It was hot and humid, but we found snakes. Left to right: David Salazar, Sarah Smiley, Terry Farrell, Lisle Gibbs, Matt Holding, Rob Denton |
