It looks to be a fascinating animal that I first saw on Seabrook Island, outside of Charleston.....an Eastern Glass Lizard. Not a snake at all, but a legless lizard. It looked just like a reinforced hose half hidden in some pinestraw....what a shocker when I picked it up!

These are really common in the lowcountry, judging by my experience with them. They are very good tree climbers, by the way! It's a little unnerving seeing one 'scale' a loblolly pine or a big live oak.

Oh my gosh hissing at you well at least you didn't step on it so the hissing was probably a good thing. That alone would have made me cringe lol.
