Just got back from another trip to SE Arizona and SW New Mexico. Definitely the worst luck I’ve ever had with rattlesnakes down there (just 3, all molossus), but luckily blacktails are among my favorite snakes.

Big thanks to Chase at Ashton Biological Preserve for allowing me film and photograph this gorgeous girl. Someday I hope to see an eastern indigo in the wild, but until then I’m grateful for this opportunity.

Mimic glass lizards are a legless lizard endemic to the southeastern coastal plain of the United States. As the longleaf pine ecosystem declines, so too goes this beautiful creature. The future of this delicate species is dependent on a massive shift in how we manage fire-adapted systems.

Getting some aerial footage of longleaf pine savanna today. It has its challenges (mainly being eaten alive by insects while trying to hold a camera still), but the documentary is coming along.

I’m just out here admiring the intricacies of nature. Evolution is an awe-inspiring process.

First snake of 2025 is a Dekay’s. Glad I found it, but the second was a speckled racer, which would have been a much cooler first snake of the year. 🤷🏻♂️
