I FOUND MY FIRST HETERODON PLATIRHINOS TODAY!

Last day of herpetology class but certainly not the last day of herping🥲

Gradebook gets 'interesting' when teaching herpetology...

The library I work at was getting rid of these. I asked my boss if I could take them and I could. Herpetology encyclopedias!!!! Yay!!!
