Texas Rat snake

[fishman10]

I did my annual trip to Fredericksburg for my church camp. Every year I find a ton of reptiles, insects, fish and mammals. This year I caught 5 species of snakes, two types of turtles, a tree frog and lots of lots of insects. I will upload and post more as I get them finished. These are of the Texas Rat Snakes and a video of it climbing a tree.

I am not lost on the connection between reptiles and Church Camp…Is this one of those denominations that employs reptiles during the service?

There is no connections :downspin: just happens that the area is full of reptiles, insects, deer, turkey and more.

Did you run across one of these nasties?
Giant Texas Centipede (http://www.kens5.com/news/Crickets-attracting-Venomous-Centipedes--99912759.html)

I found one of these things in my sleeping bag during a boy scout "survival" (sleeping on the ground) camp-out. Luckily it didn't bite me, but I never forgot it.
