I enjoy herping 🐍🦎🐢🐸🦎 and hiking around the USA, but mostly in the southwest.

😍 ... only the 3rd or 4th time I've seen a western banded #gecko at our place. Since they are nocturnal & Squeezy could have gotten him, I relocated to some cool, shaded rocks. Also: testament to NOT using pesticides (& why we have walking sticks, mantises, tarantulas).

@ckfrostenson Yeah it was buzzing a bit. I picked these photos specifically because the rattle was just a blur in other photos that I took while it was rattling, and I did want to show off that nice tapered rattle. Thank you.

Nice look at the heat sensing pits on this Prairie Rattlesnake that I saw today in the Zuni Mtns of New Mexico. (My 1st viridis of 2026)

I forget the name of them but these beetles are so cool! They rattle as they scurry along.

@ShortyHarris99 Those patch-nosed love a good morning basking session. 10am in the desert, snake on road, I assume patch-nosed. I stop to double check, of course

Close-up of a Desert Patch-nosed Snake. I mostly see these snakes in the morning as they warm themselves up on paved and dirt roads. They seem to be a fairly common species in both the Mojave & Sonoran Deserts.

@JojoReptiles That Great Plains Skink is awesome! 👍 Also I'm thinking the other lizard is Ornate Tree Lizard but not 100% certain from the photos.

@NASA I thought we would see better live images of the moon? The live view inside the cabin is crystal clear.🌛

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX And those animations instead of onboard cameras, I remember that from the 60's. LOL.

NASA’s Artemis II livestream really makes you appreciate @SpaceX’s launch broadcasts. Bad camera tracking, no onboard cameras, countdown timer disappeared, NASA even showed people in the crowd instead of stage separation lol. The screen also blacked out twice during the first 10 seconds of the launch.

@ShortyHarris99 They can get so big if left alone. I once found one that was unofficially over 6' long as measured by holding it over my head and it's tail still dragged the ground by a good foot.

A nice 48" (122cm) Gophersnake crossing the trail on yesterday's hike. These large constrictors are very common out here in western New Mexico & found in every type of habitat.

@CrytzerFry That's very cool! I've only seen actual gophers twice in my entire life! Lots of dirt mounds of course, but only 2 gophers.

All the Plateau Striped Whiptails are waking up from the winter sleep like this one yesterday. Interesting fact: this is an all female species that reproduce from unfertilized eggs.

A colorful male Eastern Collared Lizard watched me from under a boulder today. I took one more step and it disappeared underneath.

My friend named this guy "Big Daddy". I saw him today for the 4th straight year; he has a definite territory. I reckon he must be about 10 years old. He's the biggest Eastern Collared Lizard in the area, but surprisingly he lacks the bright yellow head of the other local males.

@akane3natsuki Yes, if alcohol had just now been invented there is no possibility that it would be legal: highly addictive and terrible short term side effects, and really destructive long term health problems.
