More Animals From Texas

So I have already showed you the huge black rat snake but I thought I should show you some more animals that may be less scary from where we live.. We have had everything from snakes, to rats, to black rat snakes. In addition to rats and rats snakes we have had, bunnies, foxes, baby squirrels, armadillos, raccoons, and even some reptiles. Unfortunately we were not able to get pictures of all of the mentioned above, but we were able to get quite a few pictures.
Here are some lizards that I think are called salamanders. Our pest guy told us they like to bite and hold on to things. he said you can make them into earrings, (for all you Lady's). How would you like to have these fellas hanging off your ears?

And here are the baby rats we found in our shed. there were a lot of these guys. At first we thought they were baby squirrels but I guess there rats.



Here is a close up in someones hand.




And that brings us to another snake the great very poisonous copperhead.




This is for real a baby squirrel. We think it fell out of its nest up in the trees. but we left it there and it was gone the next day.



Isn't it cute.




And this is our little friend we call Philip. Me and my mom call him that but sister thinks its a girl. But I picked up this little fella while mowing. saw it chilling out by its hole/nest so I picked him up and got a photo op.




Hes so cute wish i could have kept him.




And here he is all grown up a couple of years later. So we see him every couple of days.





Well hope you enjoy nature and wildlife like I do. I get a kick out of all these pictures thinking how many different animals we have seen and continue to see.
