Rare Mangrove Encounter!
During a recent Rising Tide Explorers kayak tour through the mangrove tunnels, our guide Winston spotted and photographed one of Southwest Florida's most beautiful reptiles, a red-phase Mangrove Saltmarsh Snake!
These non-venomous snakes are specially adapted to life in mangrove forests, tidal creeks, and estuaries, where they hunt small fish among the roots. While Mangrove Saltmarsh Snakes come in several colors, the vibrant red phase is a particularly striking sight and one many paddlers never get the chance to see.
The snake was handled briefly by Winston, our trained guide, for educational purposes before being safely released exactly where it was found.
Every tour offers a chance to discover something amazing. You never know what wildlife will be waiting around the next bend!🤟
