Banded Watersnake coiled in the grass on Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, South Carolina. Reptile photography in wildlife refuge preserve in Beaufort County. Nerodia fasciata is an aquatic, nonvenomous, colubrid snake native to the Southeastern United States.
While pushing my way through some tall grass and Dog Fennel lining the Nini Chapin Pond on Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, I looked down at my feet and saw the back end of a snake in the grass. Since the first snake I encountered quickly slithered off, I didn't want to miss this one! It was a thick, dark-colored snake with roughly keeled scales. Was it a Cottonmouth? Taking a few more seconds to assess, I figured it was a non-venomous Watersnake.
I put my foot on the snake to keep it from shooting through the grass into the pond. And reaching down, I grabbed the back half to throw it up on the shorter grass above the bank. Success! It immediately took a defensive posture and posed for some photography and videos. Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, Beaufort County, South Carolina.

Blind female Pitbull Terrier dog with enlarged eyeballs from glaucoma. Adoption photography for humane society animal shelter. What a doll! We quickly fell in love with "Lola" in the shelter. She was a very sweet, tender and gentle special-needs blind dog. Her owner was going through a tough period in life so she was surrendered to the animal shelter on October 8, 2021. I had the pleasure of doing Lola's photographs for the adoption and rescue websites. Even though blind, Lola settled in very quickly in the shelter. She spent most of the day sleeping on her dog bed in the kennel, but would always perk up when she heard the door open. Outside on a leash, she followed the sound of your voice and your footsteps and trusted you to lead her safely. She was rescued by Road Trip Home Rescue on October 11, 2021 and immediately had surgery to have her eyes removed. The advanced glaucoma was causing a lot of pressure in the eyes. Her rescue and surgery was sponsored with generous pledges to the rescue group from Anne, Sonia, Dana, Becky, Lorraine, Heather, Polly, Jason and Fred.
