I will list what I saw.

4 Racers (one was eating a spade foot, the snake ended up biting me several times and it felt like I was envenumated)

5 Crowned snakes

1 Water snake Nerodia? that was about 3-3.5 feet I did not catch it but it was about as thick as my wrist. It was Jet black Maybe erithrogaster?

Lizards
Green anoles
Fence lizards and Scrubs
5 lined skinks
1 Broad Head
Ground skinks

Oh ya and a bunch of gators on the Ocklawaha River.

Scorpions (Bark)

I was keeping my fingers crossed for a few more snakes. But not bad for 2.5 days.

Cheers,
