Pictures of Mexican Racer
I am certain I saw an Eastern/Mexican Racer today in Miami Beach. It was totally green, on its back, and had distinct scales like these do in the pics. At first glance I thought it was an adult garter snake. But then I realized it was solid green, no stripes, no black, nothing but green. Under belly may have been the lighter/yellowish color. I was walking along the beach when I saw a little lizard in my path. It just sat there and I reached down and it actually let me pet it briefly, then it took off to my left. I stood back up and that is when I noticed the Racer watching me, to the right of the path (yikes lol), I think it must have been stalking the lizard. It then turned away and slithered into the brush in the dunes. It was a beautiful olive green color, not bright green, but a rich, beautiful deep green. So glad I got to witness it.
