Southern Watersnake (nerodia fasciata) He sat still until I got too too close, then he started to raise his head like he would bite to defend himself.

Southern Watersnake (nerodia fasciata) Non-poisonous. I was a little concerned that it just sat there in the trail, that maybe it had been stomped, or if it was playing dead. <a href="http://www.louisianaherps.com/southern-watersnake-nerodia.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.louisianaherps.com/southern-watersnake-nerodia.html</a> Lake Martin Louisiana

mother alligator on log with baby on back Easter 2024, went for a hike around Lake Martin and saw a lot of alligators. This is the mother alligator on the log with the babies from the other two shots adjacent in the photostream. There's one baby on her back in this shot. Okay, so this was a seasonal lake, but they built the levee in 1952 to make it a year round lake. I wonder if this is Stella. <a href="https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/entertainment_life/a-visit-to-lake-martin-offers-close-ups-of-alligators/article_2c9cb3f2-6ea5-11ee-aee8-63484fb4daaa.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/entertainment_life/a-visi...</a> Louisiana.
Baby alligators on log with mom There was one on mama's back. You can zoom for more detail on this one. I didn't know the mums looked after them after they hatched. Easter 2024. We hiked around Lake Martin. It was mostly cloudy, with the sun out occasionally briefly. There were a lot of alligators, and I'll be slowly uploading decent shots of critters including more alligators. Lake Martin, Louisiana
Baby alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) on a log Baby alligators on a log in Lake Martin. Momma was on the log too to the right of this shot. There were a lot of alligators at the lake, we walked around it today on Easter. The rookery is not accessible though, the raised wood trail to view the rookery is badly damaged. Louisiana
