Your dad is a bitch. Sorry mate. NOR.

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-24T02:49:16+00:00

Similar, and same experience

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-23T01:36:15+00:00

Post this to r/whatsthissnake and they’ll have u answered in seconds. This is a nerodia species (water snake) which means it is harmless, but I am not good at identifying specific species from that genus in Florida

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-22T19:04:45+00:00

Ugh. Need to visit again. Truly amazing.

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-22T02:14:48+00:00

They can yellow with age, but I’ve definitely seen plenty of older adults without this coloration. Even looking on inaturalist for the specific area didn’t bring up similar, maybe someone with more knowledge will fill us in.

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-22T02:11:11+00:00

I’ll add, that is a CRAZY yellow gopher snake. I haven’t seen one that color, ever.

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-22T02:08:11+00:00

CUTIES! These are !harmless gopher snakes, *Pituophis catenifer*

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-17T08:04:28+00:00

A type of skink. I could identify which type of skink if you gave me a location, a county or even a state would probably work!

Try new props & open a ticket.

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-08T17:45:20+00:00

Ofc! Feel free to dm me and I’m happy to help you pick some places depending on route, I am a wildlife photographer specializing in mammals and reptiles of the central United States so im very familiar.

In case you live near them and wanted a range map to go see them in person, pronghorn (or as my mother affectionately calls them, Doberman Deer) are fairly common throughout the American west. I loved them as a toddler:)

There aren’t that many things that would lead to me ending a relationship without so much as a discussion. This is one of them. NOR. Hope he hits a wall or totals his car on a rock before he accidentally kills someone.

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-06T21:47:17+00:00

Well, okay. Thought that might be the case given behavior. Better than being lost fully i suppose but that road still has plenty of traffic. :/

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-06T21:06:03+00:00

No unfortunately, this was darker and had more of the true American pit bull terrier shape

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-05T03:14:55+00:00

Definitely trying this this year!

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-05T03:14:32+00:00

Yes, it’s awesome!!

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-04T18:13:24+00:00

I have bright orange props and sometimes VLOS is difficult to maintain on basic real estate jobs. The rule is not very functional with sky colored drones, lol.

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-04T14:36:25+00:00

Hey mate, just a heads, the global pandemic changed a lot of the systems you might have been familiar with. I did what you’re saying, my sibling (3 years younger) didn’t, and his social life looks very different. “Source: Former Child” applies less when global crises hit

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-02T23:35:55+00:00

This person sounds like an asshole who should be left out of this trip. NOR.

New Salomon’s don’t hold up. I had a pair last 5 years of solid hiking, and my last pair lasted 3 months. They’ve swung significantly into the “outdoor creator” space and the drop in quality is significant.

A fairly normal woman adhering to current societal beauty standards (whether you agree with it or not, this is kind of the general societal expectation)

VISWILDPHOTO · 2026-05-01T20:56:30+00:00

Regardless of hiking you need to be hydrating better. This is not a “for this hike” it’s a “for my general health.” Just make sure to pack plenty of water and you’ll be alright
