Well it doesn't look like I'll be naming snakes anytime soon, the
southern black racer that was in the pond has apparently left for
greener (or wetter, or something) pastures. It may have been some
sort of irreconcilable personality conflict, I don't know. In any
event, the snake is gone.

The hodag is a critter that I didn't expect to find mentioned here. I
am most familiar with the "cave hodag"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodag). I've been caving pretty much
all over the US, but mostly in the Virginia-West Virginia areas. In
that area the well-known but seldom seen hodag has several
subterranean chambers named in honor of it. I wasn't aware of any
above ground relatives.
