Yesterday I learnt that bearded dragons have two very different defensive strategies

Option 1 - puff yourself up, open your mouth and lunge aggressively at the threat

Option 2 - stay still and wait for the threat to go away

They are widely kept as pets so it is always cool to see wild ones in their natural environment

Water moccasin. The way they hold their head up is an easy way to distinguish from a banded water snake.

Is that in the wild?

A couple of snakes from the Yucatan...Mayan Riviera. Can anyone identify them? I caught the guy in the tree capturing and eating something...cool

the top one I think is a tropical rat snake

and the bottom one perhaps a Speckled Racer
