Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

  1. Can you help me identify this snake encountered on a walk last night in Palm Coast, FL? Wish picture of his head was better, but he was very large, and we did not want to risk provoking him.

    Thanks

    1. Hi, this system doesn’t allow for attachments so I can’t see the picture. If you’re on Twitter, @AlongsideWild is a great source for ID snakes. I’m afraid I’m not familiar with FL’s wonderful reptile variety.
