I didn’t spot it myself, but our neighbour Jacob did. He captured this beautiful image of a non-venomous ladder snake. Always special to come across wildlife like this here.

#nonvenomous Dekay’s Brown #snake found on a warm day. Snakes brumate, like a nap on a cold day.
ANY warm day, regardless of time of year, they will be out and hunting for food.

Eastern Blue-tongue (Tiliqua scincoides) New research shows that eastern blue-tongue lizards are born with adult-like learning ability. Photo: Associate Professor Martin Whiting, Macquarie University. The Eastern Blue-tongue is silvery-grey with broad dark brown or blackish bands across the back and tail. Individuals on the coast usually have a black stripe between the eye and the ear which may extend along the side of the neck. The Blotched Blue-tongue is dark chocolate brown to black with large pink, cream or yellow blotches on the back, and a tail banded in the same colours. They can grow to almost 600 mm in total length, of which about 360 mm is head and body. Early in the morning blue-tongues emerge to bask in sunny areas before foraging for food during the warmer parts of the day. During cold weather they remain inactive, buried deep in their shelter sites, but on sunny days they may emerge to bask. They shelter at night among leaf litter or under large objects on the ground such as rocks and logs. They are found throughout much of New South Wales, west to Cobar. In the Sydney region, the Eastern Blue-tongue occurs on the coastal plain and in the lower Blue Mountains.
In #Spring, Australia’s #nonvenomous blue-tongue #lizard emerges from hibernation. They’re intelligent, friendly & beneficial to the garden. One now suns itself in our cat’s favourite spot, to warm up its cold-blooded body. She likes to leap over it, for fun. But the #BlueTongueLizard simply abides.

This snake crossed my path on an early walk today. I believe it was an oak snake. #nonvenomous #woodsfind #ApalachicolaNationalForest #NFloridawoods #walkonthewildside #snakeintheroad #oaksnake #dustyroads
