On the second day of the trip I visited this cypress swamp.

Mole Salamander.

Green Treefrog.

There was a very large number of orbweaver spiders at nearly every place I visited. This was the largest though - Marbled Orbweaver.

Marbled Salamander.

"Striped" Marbled Salamander.

Midland Painted Turtle.

In the afternoon I went back to Snake Road. This is what the Big Muddy River looked like on that day.

I saw this young Cottonmouth basking a few feet up in a tree.

Red-tailed Hawk.

Cross Orbweaver.

A young Ringneck Snake.

A shy Five-lined Skink.

A Rough Green Snake pretending to be a twig.

A handful of Bess Beetle grubs.

Long-tailed Salamander.

A Yellowbelly Water Snake seeing if it's safe to go outside.

Before I knew it, it was time to say goodnight to Snake Road.
