Just a reminder to always be careful venturing outside looking for crystals. I was a little too eager sticking my hand into what i thought was an empty pocket the other day when I felt a smooth coil and quickly yanked my hand out. Luckily this snake is harmless (I believe it’s a yellow-bellied racer), but it could have easily been a venomous species or any number of other critters. Also, thanks to reddit for getting these snake names stuck in my head #dangernoodle #cautionramen #regrettispaghetti #snek #snake #outdoors #hiking #rockhounding #geology #nature #fossicking #crystalhunter #austin #texas #atx #herpetology #wildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXikMTAKQG/?igshid=15j5eh2ddoua8
