🚨 #HerpTwitter help! 🚨 This mystery snake was donated to the @MTABiology herp collection but no information came along with it! Can anyone ID this snake? Would love some help! Please RT.

Still spreading the word! See link in the quoted tweet for resources to make fieldwork and field courses safer and better experiences for everyone! @IchsAndHerps @HerpLeague @ElasmoSociety @herpetALLogy

Thanks to all that came out to see the MSB at this year's Biology Research Day! We had a great time meeting everyone and seeing all the new research coming out of the department!

Congrats to two of our division undergraduate researchers, Ari Torres and Irvin Arroyo-Torres, who presented their work at today's UNM Biology Research Day. We're so proud of you!

Glad to see the excitement for specimen art! Tickets were gone within 20 minutes, so make sure to sign up for our MSB Events newsletter to get info directly in the future.

We headed back into the Coastal Plain yesterday and it felt like spring became summer. Roaring choruses of Pine Woods Treefrog (pictured), Barking Treefrog, Green Treefrog, Southern Cricket Frog, Southern Toad, Cope's Gray Treefrog, American Bullfrog. 🐸🎶

Its almost time! Set up your reminder now and secure a seat on April 5th!

Thank you to all that came out to our second ever Studio Nights on Friday! We had a great time meeting all you wonderful artists and getting to show off some of our favorite specimens. If you missed this month, we have one more coming up in April! More details later this week...

Big news! MSB tweets are back! First order of business is bragging about our awesome undergrads that just returned from spring break Arizona Toad surveys with @JTGiermakowski in southern New Mexico. Plus a few lizards on the side... Great job Sophia and Ezra!

As promised, we have updates on our spring break adventures... but they're over on @UNM_MSB, where we're going to start doing most of our posting! Head over to see what we were up to in the Gila and follow to see more from all around the MSB!

MSB Herps is out in the field this week for spring break! Check back next week for updates on all the cool stuff we're up to!

Wow! Spots for our March MSB Studio Nights event filled up in about 2 hours; faster than we could share the poster! The good news is we still have a few spots on the waitlist... eventbrite.com/e/msb-studio-n…
