The Highlight of 2024... and probably the last decade...
I had the privilege of finding a clutch of O.vernalis eggs (Smooth Green) and filming one hatching from start to finish!💚🐍🥰 So. Amazing.

Total count for O.vernalis records in PA for me...
62 (66 total 2 not in yet and 2 escaped the camera)
Woah *faints*
