For #turtletuesday this fashionable painted turtle while sporting quite the covering of duck weed (a current fashion trend amongst turtles of this swamp) decided it should add a feather to its outfit. The other turtle is clearly quite jealous of its friends possibly intentional (although most likely not) trend setting. #nature #wildlife #turtles #paintedturtle #swamp #wetland #fashionweekattheswamp #canon #canon5dmarkiv #wildlifephotography #nys #newyork #upstateny #green #summer #nywildlife #reptile #herps #herpetofauna

For #turtletuesday here is a painted turtle enjoying the view from its surprisingly uncrowded basking log. Taken 9/12/21.

I’ve been awake for too long and I googled pictures of toads and now I’m crying. I NEED someone else to appreciate narrow-mouthed toads PLEASE. they are so underhyped and it hurts my heart
Happy #WorldSnakeDay! To mark the occasion, I have just released this new poster showing 13 of the 19 genera of pseudoxyrhophiid snakes from Madagascar! These snakes are really amazing, showcasing the evolutionary potential of the snake bauplan, and occupying niches from slug-eating to egg-eating, vince-snakes to racers, and everything in between.
You can get it on my RedBubble page—link in my profile!
