Feeling tired on the train back from #2025SVP after a great conference. Loved being able to talk about snakes, see a bunch of cool talks, and see my palaeo friends. Shout out to drinking wine under a dinosaur with @lucyroberts.bsky.social!🍷🐍🦖

Standing near the fossil statues at Crystal Palace park, shaking my head so everyone knows I know they're inaccurate.

In all seriousness, was super cool to see these icons of Victorian palaeontology. Featuring an iguanodon, plesiosaur, ichthyosaur, and a mosasaur (possibly...)

Spontaneous walk in the park after work and was rewarded with a sighting of this beautiful copperhead! The first wild copperhead I've ever seen 🐍😍 Luckily I spotted this beauty before a person and their dog passed by and scared it into the bushes...

Some beautiful snakes of East Texas, everyone but the Nerodia was very polite. 🐍

Buttermilk racer - Coluber constrictor anthicus
Slowinski's corn snake - Pantherophis emoryi slowinskii
Coachwhip - Masticophis flagellum
Broadbanded water snake - Nerodia fasciata

Happy Lunar New Year, year of the snake! Hopefully this means good things for this year 🐍🎆🐍 Ada has her own opinions already
