Night Snake and Shovel-Nosed Snake

[davidbarber1]

Just a couple of herps I found last night on patrol. Night Snake (Hypsiglena torquata) and Western Shovel-Nosed Snake (Chionactus occipitalis). All animals were released after photos. Enjoy.

Thanks. I enjoy posting them. Wait until I get some Western Diamondback pics. I have not seen one yet, but I feel them coming on. It's just a matter of time.
