Snakes, Frogs and Geckos

For the second time in our chicken coop I found a black rat snake.

 One night I was getting eggs and I felt under a chicken and I felt scales. At first I thought it was the chickens legs but then I realized it was the snake. Black rat snakes are non venomous but they will bite so I carefully caught,caged and released it at the creek.

I found this tree frog hopping around in our house.

This is scrabble the toad.

I also found some northern leopard frogs.

You can not see it very well in this picture but this baby blue tailed skink has amazing colors on it's tail. green, blue and even some purple.

at about an inch and a half violet ground beetle has violet rimed sides.

And also 4 little toads.

And I still have Ember the leopard gecko.

I spent about 25 minutes catching 10 different reptiles and amphibians not including Ember.

And finally the mean one, Chomper the blue tailed skink. every time I pick him up he bites me and doesn't let go!

I found this fat frog under our propane tank. It has such a pretty belly.
