indigo snake - 03/04/21 03:30 PM
Hi, my name is Aaron and i live in Galveston. I drive to different parts of the state and surrounding states to find and take pictures of diff reptile species. I usually end up at state parks hiking around hoping to find the specific species i am looking for. Once i find the snake or lizard i take its picture for a minute and let them go. I am not a collector and am only hoping for a photo shoot with my iphone. Some people take pics of birds, i do reptiles.
The species i am trying to find at the moment is an indigo snake. I have been down towards the Brownsville area a couple times and put in many hours looking for an indigo but no luck yet.
The reason for this post is i wanted to see if there was anyone that has any land south of San Antonio that would let me walk around looking for reptiles. The most ideal property would possibly have artificial cover on it like old sheds or barns, sheets of tin or plywood but arent necessary. It seems there is very little public land south of san antonio for me to look around on.
I honestly dont want to make this post and have been debating whether to do it or not for a couple weeks but it does become frustrating hiking for days without success. Of course thats part of the hunt and what makes it rewarding when you do get paid off. I just am trying to scout better searching grounds. im hoping to do this anytime in march or april.
If anyone has any tips or other ways for me to access areas, im all ears. Thank you for any help
heres a few examples
