We can’t let the birders have all the fun, so I’m going to start posting my favorite reptiles & amphibians! (I’m clearly in good company on the subject, however!) These amazing creatures are often unjustly vilified, but if you take a closer look you will realize just how beautiful and unique they are.
So I will start for now with Crotalus cerastes, the desert sidewinder (SW US/NW Mexico) — This small pit viper is specially adapted to live in the desert, most notably in its locomotive behavior of “sidewinding” which leaves a trademark imprint in sand. Enjoy!


beautiful – I’d wish I would see one of those some day – from a safe distance!
Good job. Enjoy your posting. Interesting insight.
Reptiles and amphibians are always fascinating to study and read about. Enjoy spreading the joy of these creatures, my blog is dedicated to herpetology and I think you might enjoy it.
Hi LJ, thanks for introducing yourself. We look forward to exploring your site, it looks like we have a lot in common!
🙂 I don’t know a lot of people around me with this interest in common and so it is nice to be able to read and discuss these topics online with like-minded people. I am always looking to expand my knowledge and experience with reptiles and amphibians, because it is my dream to work with them
We wish you the best of luck in fulfilling your dream!
Thank you very much 🙂
