Not all ring-necked snakes have a ring on their neck.

Did not expect to see this. Among many red-eared sliders, I saw what looks like a snapping turtle. Only the head was visible, the body was obscured by turbid water. The turtle swam a bit and was part of a congregation of sliders expecting to be fed.

Was thinking this was the Western yellow-bellied racer but the belly is not yellow...perhaps a juvenile? Scales underneath looked like light blues and pinks.

Missing a significant part of its posterior end, poor thing. Managed to crawl off into the bushes.

Part of my explorations in support of my write-up on the effort to save the Sierra Nevada Yellow-legged Frog, Shasta Lake's biodiversity, and other endangered amphibians of northern California.

A little confused because we have seen several coral snakes in the yard but the banding pattern here does not show clear red bands although there is some on the underside.

Se encontró al animal debajo de una piedra, este tenia un nivel de opacado iridescente semejante a aquel demostrado por los escamosos antes de una muda.

Probably a melanistic one. The tongue was black. I couldn’t get a great look at the belly but it seemed orange-red. It was very fast in getting away from me as I attempted to take a photo!

Although this looked like a beautifully choreographed mating dance, it is actually a form of ritual combat between two males, usually occurring in view of a female--she may have stayed behind the rock out of my sight. It had been going on for nearly 5 minutes when I left.

Male/male fight: 2 well matched males battle for more than 15 minutes. I did not stay to see the end of their competition, or if either got injured. They circled each other and moved in side by side. One would bite the other's leg, or tail and the bitten lizard would spin to try to dislodge the biter. Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjeVkN5rfgo

Surprising find in a slough within the stagnant marsh. Not a species I recognize from this watershed! A carp, perhaps?

In the same debris pile as a False Tarantula. Snake appeared to be about to shed. I did not pick it up.

I observed this turtle yesterday while looking over the side of the concrete bridge at Lake Merced. I was watching a heron catch a fish and saw this turtle slow come up for air. It stayed at the surface for quite sometime and I was able to grab a few photos (attached). I am fairly certain this is a snapping turtle that was released.

I've been wanting to see this turtle for so long and I finally got to today. Obviously it's something someone released here at some point (supposedly 15-20 years ago, but it's all hearsay) but still super rad.

Each little dot is a head. Literally hundreds in this tiny pond, from tiny hatchlings to enormous adults. Were observed feeding on a lot of insects at the surface and trying to scrape some sort of periphyton off the rocks. Seems like such a density in such an environment is entirely unsustainable over the summer/dry season. Rana draytonii and thamnophis atratus also present

this big turtle was found by Lake Elizabeth on 2018 Nov 21, but it is not native, and is presumably an abandoned pet

This lizard was living its best life by ending the lives of many others. In retrospect, it would have been useful to know my camera can shoot high speed video.
