The local burros. They're not shy at all. If they're blocking my walking path, I have to run towards them to get them to move.

Iguannas in St. Thomas. 

I used to have one as a pet, so always fascinated with them.

Some farm animals. A friend of mine was watching a private camp ground that had these (and more) animals. DD Jeep in the background of the first one.

At the border of Puerta Vallarta. An albino Burmese Python. I used to have snakes. My 12yo (middle) REALLY wants one. Wife won't let that happen. So when we saw this one at the border, I paid to get a picture for him.

Not my pic. Got this off the Internet somewhere. Supposedly someone caught this fish and saw the frog chilling inside. Tapped the frog and he jumped out.

Looks like snake season has started. I saw these two gopher (rat?) snakes on my dog walk a few days ago. My sons also saw what was probably a red racer in the backyard. My boxer wanted to kill it and my oldest son had to pull him away. I was out there in maybe 10 seconds and it was gone. Disappointed I didn't get to see it.

 

Also saw a brownish rattle snake down the street, also while on a dog walk. Didn't stop for a picture of that one because it was on a narrow walkway.

The only good snake is a dead snake 🐍 ☠️

Is that the view from your backyard?

Yes. Part of the view, anyway.  Here’s a “panoramic” shot. But it is distorted; the true field of view is about 190 degrees, instead of about 90 as this photo suggests.

This guy popped his head up while we were eating dinner. This quick photo from my dining room chair was the best I could do.

Looks like he wanted to join you for dinner!
