This is a snake that was in my yard in Southern Pines just a little while ago. I usually find snakes in my pool a few times a year, but I’ve never seen one in the grass. I’d say it’s close to 2 feet long. It’s black with a white underside. Creepy!
This is a video of some tadpoles that live in the water that’s collected on top of my pool cover. They’re eating some salad greens I tossed onto the water for them. There are hundreds left, even though I’ve given at least a hundred away for kids to watch as they develop into toads or frogs, or whatever they’ll be. They don’t have legs yet, so it could be some weeks before they leave. If you’re local and would like some pollywogs for your classroom aquarium, let me know.
