I love bags so pretty much ran out of the session to grab the @acmtmedtox tote bag when I heard I won bingo. #toxnerd #ACMT2023. Thanks to all the ACMT staff, presenters, and organizers for a great conference

@SteveCurryMD @ToxAndHound If I don’t show up to work on Monday it’s because I’m off doing great things with Thorin.

[Michelle Ruha @MichelleRuha]

Fun facts from our tour today: no snakes ‘chase’ you. Not black mambas, not cottonmouths. Also, even if you step on a rattlesnake it’s most likely to try to escape without trying to bite you. Best not to test this though.

[PhxMedToxFellowship @MedToxFellowshp]

We had a great tour of ⁦@PhoenixHerp⁩ today! Learned so much about native and non-native venomous snakes not to mention crocodilians, non-venomous colubrids, tortoises and various other creatures. Thank you to Cale and the amazing staff for a wonderful experience.

We saw 2 baby Western Diamondbacks on our ⁦@MedToxFellowshp⁩ herping trip this week. They are so cute you just want to pick them up and play with them. Don’t do it! Why August is birthing season for mother rattlesnakes | https://t.co/893qzc4Lqw https://t.co/u6xXN5W1Z5
