Dogs found a new friend

Well it may not be really field herping but my wife was alerted by our barking dogs that something was up in the back yard and she went out to find our big bad pitbulls running away from this little guy.

I wish I could find stuff like that in my backyard from time to time. I found a Tx Brown in my backyard several yrs ago but that about as good as it gets living in the suburbs. Congrats on a great find.

So far Florida has been great for things like this. I have gotten some shots of a wild gator that got about 6ft from me to things like a gopher tortoise in its burrow. Granted the pics aren't as nice as the ones taken at home with the really cool digital camera.
