Prostrate, not over 10 inches tall. No flowers to help ID. Early April it has green seed pods about 3/4" long and wide (see photos.) When cut open they're green inside with lots of little seeds. Smells and looks like an edible fruit, but not sure.

Everytime I walk along this area of road, I look for reptiles on the north side of the road. I often see them there. I've seen a few kings snakes, rattlers, large Ali gator lizards...didn't want to grab it to pull it out of the bush, so I just got a night shot of the back end of it.
