TURTLE BOY AND THE BIRDS: Ectothermic

Most of the time I am working when I'm out there, and as with all the things I am cataloging, I expect this list to grow over time.

Here's the list so far:

American Bullfrog, Blanchard’s Cricket Frog, Southern Leopard Frog, Green Tree frog, Squirrel Tree frog, Bronze Frog, Green Frog, Gulf Coast Toad, Eastern Narrow Mouthed Toad, Cotton Mouth, Copperhead, Rough Green Snake, Yellow-bellied Water Snake, Eastern Ribbon Snake, Diamondback Water Snake, Southern Black-masked Racer, Broad-banded Water Snake, Graham's Crawfish Snake, Texas Rat Snake, Speckled King snake, Green Anole, Brown Skink, Five-lined Skink, Red Eared Slider, Mud Turtle. Also American Alligator.

Blanchard's Cricket Frog

Five-lined Skink; Plestiodon fasciatus near front gate.

Racer Sp. ? I have a lot of what I would call Black-masked Racers that are very golden to tan in color. Waiting to get Brad Moon or someone more knowledgeable than myself to confirm species.

Broad Banded Watersnake

Bronze and leopard frogs abound on the property. Probably why the snakes do too.

Green treefrog.

Leopard frog.

I thought it was a juvenile bullfrog but after a quick e-mail and phone call to herpetology professor and friend Dr. Brad Moon turns out it's a green frog...learned something new.
