Gulf Saltmarsh Snake and other neat herps

I was excited to finally get a chance to photograph a Gulf Saltmarsh Snake. I had seen them in the past, but without a camera. The other species are simply ones I've enjoyed seeing in the past few weeks.

Hey Kelly,

Cool Pics. John and I saw a cotton mouth in the Everglades, only it didn't show its inner mouth to us.

I posted updates on my blog, now you have to post more pictures of Elliott on Us, Plus!

Enjoyed looking at your pictures of the gulf salt marsh snake. Wonder if I could use one in a book I've written on tidal marshes: Tidal Wetlands Primer (University of Massachusetts Press).

Thanks for your consideration.
