Black-headed Calico Snake

4/12/2017

It took me a while to identify this one: the Black headed Calico Snake.

While looking through all the video's and pictures from the ocelot trap cam, I came across these pictures of the Black Vulture and the Golden Tegu. It all happened in a split second, but those were such pretty pictures to share.
