Adult disturbed from under a board near the west side of my house. Cooler temps. Imaged only. GTS 4335.
Probably the same as: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/154487180
See scar on left side.
Adult male. Dead (DOR) recently, several hours. 75 degrees F. Total length: 25” (63.5 cm). Tail length: 5.25” (13.5 cm). GTS 4324. To be deposited at TAMU (TCWC).
Subadult DOR on FM 1376. With Gary Heyroth. Just north of my place.
Large juvenile female found freshly DOR on Ten West Drive. TL: 25 3/4"; tail: 6 1/2". GTS 4313, TNHC FS 0769. See US quarter dollar coin for size comparison.
Third image shows the head and fore leg of a partially digested Little Brown Skink (Scincella lateralis). The head is pointed to the left, dorsal surface showing in the image. Other parts of what appears to be the same lizard observed (section of tail, leg), likely ingested about one day or so previous. The snake was crushed in the vicinity of the stomach area with viscera extruded from being run over by vehicular traffic (appears be perhaps only once or twice). Measure in the third image in cm.
Cold front due tomorrow but several days previous were warm. Early annual activity in this species (with evidence of feeding)?
Last image during museum prep following formalin fix and tagging.
Juvenile male found in an incidental pitfall trap (water meter box). Images taken in my Volvo wagon. First image shows mud caked on its toes, making it harder for the lizard to escape. Blue-green color patches on belly in third image. GTS 4311.
Later died in captivity and was preserved. TNHC FS 0775. TL: 13 cm head/body: 4.5 cm.
Young adult male collected by Lloyd Gebhardt in 2009 (date and time approximate, Lloyd now deceased). Specimen imaged later and not in original habitat. GTS 895.
