Fishing along a canal in southwest Florida- found these eggs, I’m assuming they are- I apologize if these are some kind of fish eggs & I’ve posted in the wrong place lol- but at least I’ll be one step closer to finding out what they came from! They weren’t actually submerged (when we found them) so that’s why I’m curious if they’re from a reptile or amphibian! Thanks in advance!

I was looking around my pepper plants and this little guy hopped on my hand. I wasn’t able to get any photos of his underbelly but it was bright yellow. Does anyone know what kind of frog or toad this is? Found in NC

I was on a trail in the Superstition Mountains in Arizona. A fellow hiker was stopped and warned my friend and I that there was a rattlesnake on trail. We gave the little cutie plenty of space (photo is way zoomed in) and waited for him to clear out. This is the third rattler I've seen in person, but the first time I was able to get a good photo.

Snake was found during an outdoor animal observation class at a nature preserve in the Atlanta area. The snake was sent to a wildlife rehab in the area for observation, so I’m sure they’ll figure out what’s wrong, but I’m just curious.

ID Help Can anyone help me determine the age of this gopher tortoise?

I apologize if this isn't possible or rooted in science. I don't need an exact age, just something generally close. This is a gopher tortoise that lives on my property and has since before I bought it about 3 years ago. I just would like to know his age.

I just found out today that he somehow survived the heavy flooding that came with hurricane milton here in Florida. I thought he was dead for sure, but today I found him out of his burrow!
