LOL!!,.yeah, they are feisty alright!. I was in a pet store a while back, and a guy had a baby Black Racer in a jar and was getting a couple pinkies for his alleged "cornsnake"..LOL!. The so-called "experienced" employee there didn't even pickup on the fact that it was actually a young Black Racer either until I told the guy exactly what it was and how to care for it and what to feed it. I also told the dude if it doesn't do well and eat VERY SOON, the snake would be best let go where he found it since these people were absolute newbies to begin with. The dad new nothing, and the little kid wasn't old enough to have any responsibility or common sense at all either........I hope the snake is alive today and didn't suffer from neglect as so many snakes do...........sigh.

That is also the very first kind of snake I captured and owned around 1967 or so. Lucky for me my parents were VERY cool about me owning snakes as a young kid, and my mom would buy me all types of snakes for Christmas and birthdays. Miami corns, Indigos, Brooks kings, Yellow Rats, etc...from Miami/Dade from a friend of her's field herper husband. My entire wall of the bedroom was nothing but metal shelves of snakes from about second grade on.

I really like the glass lizards! I didn't think they were so common in Florida.

Yes,......Glass Lizards are VERY common in Florida. In Ft. Lauderdale, they would be all over the property in the middle of the city when I mowed the grass and were ALWAYS found under the the old trash/composte pile when it was removed. Many Ringnecks would also be found in this prime habitat under the pile as well.

That is really cool. It seems that all the best reptiles (and amphibians) live in Florida...
