Got to hang out with legendary herp and primate researcher Russ Mittermeier. Showed him around one of my mud turtle sites and got the target species plus a couple more. He gifted me a few books and even signed his Lemurs of Madagascar book for me!

The status can potentially give conservation officials across the species range ammunition to provide protections, and overall provides an update of the species current status, which is unfortunately threatened by things like habitat destruction and climate change, along with the illegal pet trade.

Some of my students presented their work on Amphiuma as posters at SEPARC2025. And Another former student presented a talk on her finished work on Cane Toad Immune response! Very proud of this group!

I’m so thankful for getting to work with her for the past almost 6 years. She introduced numerous students to their first turtle experiences, and was a joy to encounter every time we found her.

Kind of a sad #dailyturtle update… got the report from one of collaborators that the first box turtle ever marked in our first study in 2019 has passed on. ID#1- “Priscilla” was such a beautiful turtle and contributed data already to two published studies with two more on the way.

We're back next Fall & We're changing tit up! No longer are we "Just" The South FL Herpetology Conference. We're THE Florida Herpetology Conference! More info to come in the Spring regarding dates and location (still likely to be South Florida based for now!). #Herpetology 🐢🐍🦎🐊

A little behind on #dailyturtle 🐢🐢🐢🐢. This is a weird observation of a likely escaped/dumped nonnative Ouachita Map Turtle In South Florida. We captured this individual as part of a population. Assessment in an urban pond. It was rehomed with a Florida based educator!

#dailyturtle Thislil Florida Box Turtle was captured on a survey about 3 years ago. We've marked ~ 400 individuals in this project since its inception in late 2019! If you want to read more about the work we've done on Boxies. Check out my Research Gate Page! www.researchgate.net/profile/Jord...
