It's crazy to think that basically every single reason someone has for disliking or hating their job...is because of people.

Melanistic garter snake. Just look at those eyes

Today I learned legless lizards always look like you walked in on them pooping.

Everyone my age is making baby announcements. How come nobody appreciates when I announce that I found another weird turtle? #doublestandards

Got mugged while taking meristic data today. And they say science is safe.

Bullsnakes are just cranky old men without their dentures. Change my mind.

@Mica25681783 Fox snake.

[Nicholas McCarney (He/him) @naturenerd101]

Hilarious things, snakes.

[Nicholas McCarney (He/him) @naturenerd101]

This is a juvenile fox snake. Pantherophis ramspotti. Nonvenomous. For everyone's reference.

[Nicholas McCarney (He/him) @naturenerd101]

@LisaSedouikan @Mica25681783 Just fyi, this is absolutely not a ball python. It is a juvenile fox snake. It is non-venomous.

Do you ever think about how much ancestral knowledge and science and agriculture and medicine had been lost to colonization globally

🎵🎶It's going down, I'm yelling "Oh cool a rattlesnake, let me get my camera!"

[Nicholas McCarney (He/him) @naturenerd101]

Sometimes I'm having a bad day but then I remember softshell turtles exist. #turtles #science #nature

[Nicholas McCarney (He/him) @naturenerd101]

And share their beauty with the world!
