Found this guy in the road (dirt forest road) today. he was between 4-5 feet long. Its the longest snake ive found down here by far (and the first black rat to). i only had my 18-135, not my macro, so pics arn't great, and lighting was really bad ( i can't wait until the leaves are finally out).

and then i found my second fence lizard down here to. it was actually in a trap so thats good i can count it. again only 18-135 (really needed macro for this guy to)

i like the photos of the frog better. the color is rich and good! the snake kinda scares me but it looks good.

Dylan - I really like the last one with the snake in an almost silhouette lighting. The colours of the leaves really make the snake stand out .... and who needs a macro lens with shots like that? lol

Thanks quickpose and jaedon.

the harsh lighting on the snake really hurt the pics. and my macro lense is just sharper than the 18-135, so thats why i wish i had it.
