🐍 folks: I'm thinking of getting a garter for outreach events but: - any suggestions for finding reputable captive bred sources? - how much of a pain are they to feed? - kinda want one of the likely spp for arrivals- valley, wandering, or northwestern. Any thoughts on pros/cons?

🦎Lizard of the Night has a friend! And it looks like they are sleeping with their heads close together! Is this just The Optimal Leaf for Lizard Sleeping? Or are they happy in each other’s company? I’m going to assume it’s the latter! So cute!

Happy #WorldTurtleDay! Have you ever wondered how turtles breathe inside a rigid box? I made this illustration back when I was teaching Chordate Zoology. It's a subject I find fascinating. 🌿🐢

‘Our’ big adult Western whiptail has lost most of its long tail. A tiny stub shows as the tail begins its regeneration. Here’s a snack to help it along. #herps

For #WorldTurtleDay, a flashback to Chincoteague Virginia, June 2021 - where we missed a sunrise partial solar eclipse, missed a rocket launch from Wallops, but caught dozens of Diamondback Terrapins coming ashore to nest. #herps 🐢

The fire salamander isn’t made of flames, but it sure looks like it walked out of one. Bold black and yellow = nature’s warning sign: "I’m toxic. Don’t touch." A forest floor icon with a built-in defense system. #SalamanderSaturday #herps 📸 Maciej Bonk learn more about them at buff.ly/bcY4Eh3

Native to islands of the Indian Ocean, the gold dust day gecko is aptly named for its eye-catching colours and diurnal nature. Visitors to the Hawaiian islands often become familiar with this stunning lizard where they were introduced and have since thrived. Kona Coast, Hawaii, Feb 2025 🦎 #addHerper
