I’ve handled tens of thousands of #salamanders and this is the smallest salamander I’ve ever held. A juvenile Desmognathus wrighti coming in at 7 mm SVL and a whopping 0.07 g. Among vertebrates, only a highly efficient ectotherm could be this miniature (right @kidbeachy?).
So last week we caught one Anolis cuvieri but yesterday we literally caught two at the same time. My field assistants didn't want to get bit so I had to grab both and now I have this wild picture of me holding two at once.

Yet again @amazon fail to amaze me, this time not allowing me to cancel an order only 5 minutes after placing it due to their system error. #customerservicegonewrong
Today’s the day! Did you know that how (and if) you vote impacts at risk species like the Gopher Frog? There are 15 million registered voters in the U.S. that care about environmental issues, but don’t vote. We can change that! Raise your voice for amphibians & the environment!

Two very different Southern Hognose Snakes moved off of the road in the same stop! Stopped for the first, and the second crawled out right in front of us!
