Something From Squamata, Archosauria, and Lissamphibia
















Here are just a few stragglers that I also found near the fish hatchery, in Moncks Corner, SC . The lizard is a ground skink, Family Scincidae, Scincella lateralis. The snake is a black racer, Coluber constrictor (black with white on chin). This tadpole is possible a bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana. The little guy has no dorsolateral ridges and his webbing is short on the fourth toe, as you can see. And last but not least another alligator, Alligator mississippiensis. Big guy didn’t even move while I was splashing around in the water on the other bank, which was good, because he was definitely making me more nervous then I was making him.
