Please tell me what your favorite snake is on this, the first day of the Year of the Snake. I spent half an hour or so looking at corn snakes (recommend) and about five minutes looking at boomslangs (so beautiful, so venomous), and now I need recommendations for more snakes, please!

Those of you who got a LEECHES decal at #SICB2025, if you put it somewhere would you share a photo of it? There are so many places where the word LEECHES comes in handy, and I would love to see what you did with them.

Thanks to everybody at #SICB2025! @bluebeehivestudio.bsky.social and I had so much fun meeting and talking to all of you. We love how much we learn from everybody who stops by to talk about their research! Safe travels home and we'll see you in Portland in 2026 (we hope).
