When I was a kid, red-eared slider hatchlings, then sold as “baby green turtles”, were available in just about every 5 and dime […]

Even when half grown the patterns and colors of most yellow-bellied sliders is bright and precise. Worry not! Populations of the yellow-bellied slider are alive and well.

It took the combined scrutiny of Jake and me to find this adult male bog frog in its grassy home. In 1985 the Florida bog frog, Rana okaloosae, Florida’s smallest ranid frog was described by Paul Moler. Adult at about 2” svl, because of its unique call (a repetitive single note) this tiny greenish ranid […]
