Florida and Georgia
|
This website contains photos of snakes and lizards
which I took in Florida and Georgia. And some other stuff.
I moved to south Florida in July 2000 after having lived mainly in Chicago. I was fascinated by all the wildlife, so I took lots of photos, identified the species using field guides, and developed this website. Many photos are from Everglades National Park or Big Cypress Swamp. In June 2003 I moved to south Georgia and have been finding and photographing a few new species of snakes and lizards. |
Most photos were taken with a Pentax Spotmatic II. All the photos were taken by me. All creatures in the photos are alive, wild and not restrained. Website developed by Tom Spinker

I've been told that many people are coming to this site looking for removal services for problem snakes.
This isn't the right place.

FLICKR is a website (owned by Yahoo!) which allows everybody to upload photos free of charge.
The photos can be inserted into various "groups".
I have started a group for photos of snakes found in the eastern USA or in eastern Canada. If you have photos, please sign-up for FLICKR. Upload your photos. Join my group. Send the snake photos into my group. Direct link to my snake group on FLICKR: Eastern USA FLICKR Snake Group
Help promote snake appreciation by uploading some photos. If you don't have any snake photos. Please jump over to my FLICKR group and look at a few of the photos that people have uploaded. The number of times that a photo is viewed is counted and displayed. If people have gone to the trouble of putting photos into my group, I would like to see them get a lot of views. More FLICKR Groups (I did not start any of these other groups.)
There is a group for photos of alligators and crocodiles.
Upload your alligator photos to the group: And another group for any wildlife found in Florida Florida Wildlife Another group for lizard photos Lizards
Two groups for photos of any Reptile or Amphibian: And lots of other groups. Home page for Flickr is FLICKR |

About the Website
This website was on Geocities from 10 Nov 2000 until 30 May 2002.
Geocities provides free space for anyone to build a website and
Geocities inserts ads onto each page.
This worked fine for a year-and-a-half and it is a great way for people to get started
with a website.
By May 2002 the website was receiving more visitors than were allowed at Geocities.
So rented some disk space from
www.hostway.com and I registered the name www.southalley.com with Network Solutions.
(The name "southalley" means "south of Alligator Alley", which is the area I had been
exploring.)
Disk space costs $ 182.01 per year.
Name registration cost $ 74.97 for three years (thus $ 24.99 per year).
So my total yearly cost is $ 207.
I am inserting some ads to offset this cost.
Amazon.com pays me a commission on anything purchased by people who follow
a link from this website. Usually the commission is 5%.
In 2006 my total commissions from Amazon were $ 203.31.
So "thank you" to everyone who followed a link and bought something.
