Spotting a Broadhead Skink in its element! 🦎 That vibrant orange head is a classic sign of a male in breeding season. It’s always a treat to find these little dragons blending into the forest floor.

Visiting this gorgeous Western Diamondback (Crotalus atrox) showing off that iconic diamond pattern.

One of North America's most formidable pit vipers — best appreciated through glass.

New video out!
A relatively short one again, as on this day we attempted visiting Mammoth Cave!...but the coincidence of it being during the government shutdown last year meant, the cave itself was not actually open (a disappointment that will hopefully be remedied in near future). Despite that, the surrounding area was still traversable, and on the hikes there were a few critters that did in fact make themselves known!
Find the video here: https://youtu.be/Zt0HiMKOC-w
