Kind of a fun exercise lol it's pretty hard to just choose five species

I'm gonna be ultra biased because I got to nerd about reptiles, but I'd definitely recommend it lol

That sucks and I feel you, I missed out on Petrified Forest Nat Park because of the shutdown 😭 but Mammoth Cave is cool, hopefully you’ll get the chance again sometime.

Marbleds are my favorites, congrats on finding those! I think Spotteds will happen eventually, if you are ever out on their range in the early spring you should target them :)

I only got a week left in AZ so I'm not sure I'll have the time before I leave 😭 But I'll mark it as a top priority area to check whenever I come back. Thanks for the suggestion it does look awesome!

I definitely had to double take, haven't seen pictures of any that looks quite like this one.

Again, just like the Gopher Snake, I unfortunately didn’t have my camera because I rarely ever take it to work so that’s a bit of a bummer but it is what it is, I think the phone picture came out okay.

I also didn’t have my camera because it was during the work week sadly, but I think the phone pictures came out okay.
