Snakes Playing Poker

My people and I went out to Shelby Forest for a BioBlitz this weekend. A BioBlitz is an event where you spend the day running around in the woods with a bunch of nature-lovers, identifying and documenting every living organism you possibly can. My friend, Austyn, and I went out really early for the birds and then ran across half of the herpetology class after it got a little warmer (it was so cold that morning!). It was a good day for plants. A great day for plants! Not so much for herps... We did end up seeing a slimy salamander and a few frogs, though. The snakes were too busy playing poker to come out and greet us.

Anole March Madness!!!!!

I'm very excited about this: http://www.anoleannals.org/2016/03/16/anole-march-madness-2016/


Here are my (and Iggy's) predictions:

Rainy Night (recolored)

Hello. This picture has given me a lot of trouble. I originally drew it one day after Herpetology two years ago. I wanted to give it the atmosphere of a dark, muddy night. However, my Photoshop skills were not great, and I was experimenting. Two years later, I am still experimenting. My friend and I went out in the rain earlier this week to catch salamanders for my research. We found five adorable Ambystoma texanum :D It's always exciting to see them glistening on the road. It's fun to watch them crawl away after you release them too. Anyways, here's the recolored version of Iggy and the Salamander.
