I saw a green frog (as in Lithobates clamitans) for the first time the other day but I feel like an idiot for trying to explain that it is a specific species of frog

I'm like "I saw a green frog"

And people be like

Pulling the weed prevention tarp today which means accidental herping- look at the iridescence on the dorsal scales of this ring neck snake. I've never caught one of the spotted belly species before - what a stellar creature omg

This eastern glass lizard (Ophisaurus ventralis) is not a snake, but part of an unrelated group of legless lizards- you can tell because it has eyelids and external ear openings. They also aren‘t nearly as flexible as a real snake, with a more stiff slithering motion and lacking the ability to coil or wrap around things, but their limited degree of bendiness suits them just fine for gliding through the grass in search of crunchy insects and snails.

They‘re called glass lizards not due to their glassy-smooth scales, but because (unlike snakes) they readily shed their tails in sections when threatened, appearing to ‘shatter’ into two or more pieces. This individual is in the process of regenerating its tail and is shorter than normal, but in an intact individual the tail can be longer than the rest of the body and the lizard will basically break in half if handled too roughly.

(Florida, 4/17/23)

Your blog is incredible! Thank You!

Here's my question: If you got a chance to do an all-expenses-paid trip to one country to go herping, what country would you choose and why? ✌️

Oh, Australia, for sure!

I've been to Australia a handful of times to work with my herpetologist friends there and go herping, but never for as long as I'd have liked. Australia has snakes that are totally unique, and it's really cool because elapids and pythons there have evolved to fill niches usually filled by other families.

I've still never been able to see an eastern brown in the wild, despite how common they are. That's one of my dreams!
