We only found 2 garters, and a couple of manatee's, but it was fun to see some of Graham's snakes that he'd brought down!

Scarlet King

Natural variation in Tesseras.

Baby pygmy rattlers.

Beaded lizard.

Bucket full o' Buzztails!

TO BE CONTINUED.

More of the bucket o' buzztails.

This was the only manatee I could get a picture of.

Indian River Monster nose! LOL

Grasshopper.

ANGRY garter!

Graham Vs. The Garter!






Thanks for looking!

Very cool Robbie, thanks for the pics. What is Grahm going to do with all the rattlesnakes. Are they allowed for sale at Daytona?

The bucket o' buzztails is going to live with a few other people, and the pygmies are very freshly born, so they're down here so he can keep an eye on 'em (I think... LOL).

Wow... Is the beaded lizard going to Daytona too??? Wonder how much those go for...?

Kewl pics, Robbie! Keep them coming as I'm one of those who CAN'T GO! So we live vicariously through the photos ya'll take.

Your "Garter Snake" looks an awful lot like a Ribbon Snake.
Are you sure you identified it correctly?

:shrugs: Honestly, it's not a species I'm particularly interested in, so it could easily have been misidentified.

That is a ribbon snake for sure but great photos I love the buzzers.

I would like to note that Graham DOES have a Florida venomous permit, for those of you who are wondering.

LOL- Nope, not allowed at Daytona. I was dropping them off to my friend. I have both my Texas Venomous License and my Florida VRC (Venomous Reptiles and/or Reptiles of Concern) permit.

I heard that they stopped the F.I.R.E. hot expo in Florida...I would have loved to have gone to it!

Exactly how potent are those rattlers? O___o

Great photos, such a cute angry garter! As far as I know, ribbon snakes are a kind of garter?

It is a ribbion snake. They face structure is much more lean as is the body structure that equals ribbion snake
