Here’s a beautiful Five-lined Skink (Plestiodon fasciatus) I spotted out enjoying the sunshine today! ☀️ These skinks are common across the Southeast and are often seen darting through leaf litter or basking on warm surfaces. The bright blue tail you see here is typical of juveniles and younger adults—it’s used to draw a predator’s attention away from the body, giving the skink a better chance to escape.

Look who came strolling through the yard today! 🐢

This little visitor is a Gopher Tortoise, a native and protected species here in Georgia. They’re known for digging deep burrows that provide homes for hundreds of other animals, making them true ecosystem engineers!

Check out this baby Banded Water Snake (Nerodia fasciata)! 🐍 Just a little one, but already showing off those bold bands. These guys are completely non-venomous and play an important role in keeping our waterways balanced. Remember — not every snake you see near the water is a cottonmouth!

Out here snake hunting tonight and guess what… still zero snakes this year. Pretty sure I’m terrible at this 😂 Should I just start a YouTube channel called ‘Guy Who Never Finds Snakes’?

Out looking for snakes this afternoon — roads like this always feel promising. Hoping to cross paths with a few slithering friends and snap some good shots! 🐍

Cottonmouth? No, it’s a brown watersnake, a nonvenomous species native to Georgia! 🐍🍑

Snakes are coming out to soak up the sun after a long winter. ☀️ Though you might be worried the snake you just saw is venomous, chances are it is not. Of the 47 native snake species in Georgia, only 7 of them are venomous. While all snakes fill valuable roles in nature, some of our non-venomous species are often mistaken for their venomous counterparts. Either way, it’s always best to keep your distance! Getting up close and personal with snakes can make them feel threatened. Leave them where they are and give them the opportunity to move away on their own. 🐍

Just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for all the new follows and support — it really means a lot! 🐍📸

I will have some exciting content and new snake photos coming your way very soon. Still waiting on a few supplies and tools to arrive before I can hit the woods and start tracking snakes, but it won’t be long now.

Stay tuned — the season’s just getting started, and there’s a lot of cold-blooded action ahead!

Flashback Find! 🐍📸
Spotted this beautiful Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake crossing the road last year. One of the most iconic venomous snakes in the Southeast, and a vital part of the ecosystem. Always give wildlife space and respect—especially when it comes to snakes like this!

Snakes don’t scare me - they fascinate me.

I’m Lane, and this is Lane’s Cold-Blooded Control.

Out here in the woods of South Georgia, I track down wild snakes and show them for what they really are—beautiful, important, and wildly misunderstood.

This page is where I drop the myths, pick up the camera, and bring you face-to-face with the real lives of snakes most people never get to see.

Whether you’re into snakes, curious, or just along for the ride—you’re in the right place.

Let’s get closer to the wild. No cages. No fear. Just cold-blooded truth. 🐍
