Interesting High Water Obstacle - pic

[booger]

The rain and higher water presents some challenges. I didn't think I'd have to worry about this type of obstacle in the dark. He may not be hungry, but I'd kill myself trying to get away if I had stumbled over this lizard.

Memo to self: Large sidearm, Bowie knife.

The few I have seen over the years this late in the season have been remarkably agile even in cold temps. I know they say they don’t eat below a certain temp but I can’t help but think they may not take to kindly of someone stepping on them.

Last year a guy stepped on one that didn’t like it. I don’t know the whole story but it wasn’t one I’d hope to ever experience

That behind the levee?

No Deltamud it's not. It's in East Central MS, way off the beaten path.

And now i won't sleep tonight. Thanks.

They may not need to eat at these temps, but I imagine if you pissed one off just right he'd have enough energy to bite, and once is all it would take to ruin a morning. Like the OP said, I'd die trying to run away.
