A bit of down by the Cape Fear River this morning. Spotted a juvenile American (A. mississippiensis - 5ft or less) just after daybreak, then a beauty adult Common 5-Lined (P. fasciatus - almost 6 inches) as the sun cleared the trees.

I was going through some ancient stuff and found this thing that still makes me chuckle.

Recent adventures in DC - a prehistoric-looking Common Snapping Turtle, an adult male Five-lined Skink who's dropped his tail at some point, and a juvenile Five-lined Skink with its electric blue tail, all seen on Theodore Roosevelt Island, and the resident Common Watersnake at the lily pond in the Tregaron Conservancy.

Poll in next post: Rattlesnake, yes or no?

Moments after the first photo was taken, it struck at me. (I was well out of range; it's a digitally zoomed phone pic.)

Also, I've taken trips to the park more often lately, and I've been lucky enough to run into "the dragon", by which I mean the one lone that is occasionally sighted on the bridge overlooking the connection between the lake and the adjacent canal.

This snapping turtle is typically a rare sight.
Softshells are somewhat uncommon, while cooters and sliders are very basically ubiquitous.

Abt 84 hours until we board a plane to spend remainder of the month in ! Still looking for recommendations for locations with easy/moderate access (lots of miles and COPD on this body - so strenuous hiking/climbing isn't optimal).

On the list so far - El Valle de Anton, Gamboa Rainforest Preserve, and Rainforest Discovery Center in NP. What else do you folks recommend? (west of Canal, preferably)

Eastern fence lizards are developing fascinating new adaptations—behavioural, hormonal, anatomical—as they live alongside invasive fire ants (Solenopsis invicta). New research from Penn State's Catherine Tylan and Tracy Langkilde: theconversation.com/native-eas

"An adventure isn't worth telling if there aren’t any dragons in it"
― Sarah Ban Breathnach, Simple Abundance

On our walk in the Bay of Fires, Tasmania there were lots of skinks, snakes and our first dragon of the trip!

Mountain dragon (Rankinia diemensis)
