I am making a book showing evreyone that dinosauria is part of squamata. You will realize all of you are wrong when it comes to dinosaurs (thats how good it will be), I want to challenge pre concived notions and fill them with new ones. If you want to have a conversation with me that would be great!

Bugs are cool, but lizards are cooler. Apologies to any resident entomologists. Here are some new vertebrates in my amber collection: - Chiapas amber from Mexico: 4cm lizard hips & tail on top of a nearly complete leaf (17-25myo) - Burmite amber: fat lizard tail (99myo) – is this a gecko? As a kid I had house geckos as pets and their tails were pretty similar. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford the whole lizard.

Herpetology is the branch of zoology concerned with the study of amphibians (including frogs, toads, salamanders, newts and the gymnophiona) and reptiles (including snakes, lizards, amphisbaenids, turtles, terrapins, tortoises, crocodilians and the tuataras). Long, long before my endeavors in amateur Paleontology, though I did not know what to call it at the time, my childhood passion was amateur Herpetology. Anywhere I went, that's what I was looking for. If you were to ask what I wanted to do, that would be it. There were empty lots near my house (which are now Petco and Target) that I called "The Mesa" that were chock full of lizards of all shapes...my parents tell stories of having to drag me away. As I grew older, other things began to consume my time and I figured I out grew that phase... ...nope, not the case! My BFF is quite fond of reptiles and amphibians and has reignited that flame. This year alone we encountered 12 genus of herp in the wild, managing to document 10 of those with photos. Trachemys... ...Terrapene... ...Cnemidophorus... ...Crotophytus... ...Uta... ...Holbrookia... ...Scaphiopus and Spea... ...Bufo... ...Sceloporus... ...and Pituophis... ...that's one heckuva list! There was a insanely fast Coachwhip (Coluber) and a large bullfrog (Lithobates) that we could not catch. As Autumn blows through we are saying goodbye, for now, to our slimy and scaly friends...we will miss you! See you in the Spring! I make this post in memory of our beloved Merlin (Pagona)... ...we will always love you! To my Chickaroo...thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the realignment! And to my Forum Family, post 'em if you got 'em...or you've seen 'em...or if your just a fan! Got Herps?
