Possibly lime hawk-moth larva near Berzé-le-Châtel in the Bourgogne region of France.

10:40pm on I10 axis road. Didn’t bite, very active, about 20 in long.

Basking in the sun along other sliders. Taking advantage of this sunny weather!

Ran up a tree as we approached. Very quick and able to escape as we tried to catch. Ran into a crack in the rocks. Remained in shade the entire time.

Red front

Big snapper at the bottom of the turtle pond. Normally don’t see this guy, maybe the sun penetrating the shallow water was too good to resist.

Poking out of moss-covered shallows. Early morning, so not very active yet. Not feeding, just sitting still.

Hiding in crevices in rocky shoreline. Very well hidden and imperceptible unless it moved.

Yellow bill, black legs!

Slithering in the leaf litter on a rainy night. Very shy and elusive, lucky to see it. Early evening, probably on the prowl or returning home after some prowling.

An easy catch, very calm. Let out an alarm call as I passed that helped me find and catch it.

Fishing

Cute guy giving me side-eye! Stood in the center of the hiking path before racing partway up a nearby tree.

Little lizard jumping around the log. Ran away very quickly, not doing anything besides hiding.
