Ah, must be summer. Lots of lizards in the backyard missing their tails, which is typical when the striped racer snakes have emerged. #snek #summer #climatediary

One of our neighbors showed up in the back yard today. I didn't see them until the last second, and we scared each other. Gorgeous! #blackratsnake #snake #outdoors #nature #snek
