Western ribbonsnake being measured by a white tape measure while held in blue, nitrile-gloved hands. The snake has a black head with large eyes and a black tongue sticking out.

Finally getting around to share part of my collection of herp photos from my Snake Fungal Disease research! Starting with a lovely Thamnophis proximus (western ribbonsnake) in East Texas, Spring 2024. 🐍

I’d like to be added to this pack! I’m interested in herpetology, fungal pathogens, spatial ecology, conservation, and behavior!

This Juneteenth, I’m asking you to support two initiatives.

1) The Expansion of #FindThatLizard. I want to travel to get more photos of more species of lizards.

2) #FindThatLizard scholarship for girls, women, and gender non-conforming people interested in herpetology.

What a cool paper! 🀩 Using @inaturalist.bsky.social observations, Mayer et al. found that there are more melanistic snakes in colder regions than in warmer ones AND that melanistic snakes are more abundant with ⬆️ avian predator density 🐍🐦 Have look at it here: doi.org/10.1111/jbi....
