Baja reptile photos
Have any good Baja reptile photos?
Here are some I really like I've taken the past few years.
Baja California coachwhip (Masticophis fuliginosus)
A snake that likes to bite when you catch it!
Red diamond rattlesnake (Crotalus ruber)
The most laid back rattlesnake I think.
Southern Pacific rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis helleri)
A very not laid back rattlesnake.
Rosy boa (Lichanura trivirgata)
They never bite and are nice as ever.

Because I don't know how to attach multiple photos on one post, I'll have to do them seperately. This one was found in the road kill position.

That's scary! They can still bite after they've been hit, watch that exposed foot! I use a stick to hold them down when I am doing that or killing
them. Cool photos!

This is a "Pickled Snake", a snake of a different nature. I don't know how it ended up in a giant jar of Tequila, I guess one would have to ask Chuy
at Gordo's. I try to stay away from the stuff.

Lizards & such
I really enjoy the pictures everyone posts, because they remind me of the wild nature of Baja that I like so much. For some reason, the lizards
especially appeal to me. I know I'm projecting human characteristics on them, but they seem very wise to me, probably because they keep their mouths
shut unless they are doing something useful with them. I feel like they know some serious secrets, and with sufficient patience on my part, they may
reveal something important and meaningful. Will I recognize the message when it appears? As I mentioned earlier, I like hanging in the company of
lizards. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Zoe

The green one might be a pet, I've not seen green iguanas in Baja before. The next two are spiny tailed iguanas of the genus Ctenosaura. Great
photos! Not been far enough south to see those yet.

Yellow rat snake
Loreto, BCS. Yellow rat snake, I think.
Informed by ursidae69 that this is a coachwhip. Verified that it is indeed a Baja California coachwhip.

The rattler in the photo with my foot on it was very dead, and we were careful to remove the head. We burried the head and left the body for the
Turkey Vultures.
When I was a kid, I remember a boyscout putting a rattlesnake head in his pocket as a keepsake. We were given the lecture on snake safety as the
ambulance was taking the boy away.
