CW: jungle stuff, giant toad
fun times in the forest: last night i heard some scrambling under the bed and thought "if this is a rat, then all 3 of these cats are useless because this is the bedroom - our most 'home-base' space - and it should therefore be the least likely to have a rat."
i thought i heard it scrambling toward the cat food bowl which is next to the bed. so i rolled over, turned on my phone flashlight, and was face to face with THE biggest cane toad i've ever seen. possibly it seemed bigger because it was <1 foot from my face and illuminated in the flashlight and i wasn't expecting it at all 😆. it was bigger than the toad that was using the cat water as a personal chillout pool last month (this one would not have fit in the cat water bowl), or perhaps it was that same one, but grown substantially since then!
anyway, after i composed myself, i blocked off its path back under the bed with a book, got my garden gloves and a bucket, and put it in the bucket (i could barely hold it in a single hand, it was so big). these guys don't have much of a defensive strategy aside from "be still, sit facing a corner, and hope you are mistaken for a rock", so they don't really try to escape too much. i tossed it in my azolla pond (where it should be much happier than under my bed). really hope the sucker doesn't try to come back.
fun/unfun fact: they were introduced to hawai'i because of their 'voracious appetite', as pest control. i really should make a zine highlighting at least a handful of the invasive species that were *deliberately* introduced to the island.
anyway, the pic doesn't really do it justice, but there ya go.

Otter! In my irrigation pond! Others have seen them in there, but this is the first time I have. It was hanging out on the artificial floating wetland island I made out of a defunct standup paddle board. When it saw me, it slipped into the water, crossed the pond and skedaddled through the bushes into the creek.There are also rough-skinned newts in the pond, coming here during breeding season.
But there's also a gruesome mystery here... (cont.)

Soeben ist mir endlich Amphibert das erste Mal dieses Jahr des Weges gekrochen. Ich hätte auch nicht gedacht dass der Anblick dieses warzigen kleinen Hinterns mich gar so froh machen könnte. 🎉
Hatte mir schon so große Sorgen um meinen Mitbewohner am #klexenhaus gemacht!.

This was the big exciting find from my day #herping in Mojave National Preserve, my first chuckwalla! Wow they do live in the desert areas I'm used to hiking in, I've never actually seen one. After finding six other species of lizards in the same morning, I decided this would be my day to find a chuckwalla.
As I was driving through the Preserve, I spotted a low, basalt escarpment above a dry wash. Everything I'd read suggested that was perfect chuckwalla habitat.
I walked a quarter mile across the desert and then down to one end of the escarpment then all the way back up to the other and then on the way back down, I saw it! This handsome critter was surveying its domain from its perch about 15 feet up the cliff. Conveniently, it posed for a while before dipping out of sight.

Based on californiaherps.com, I believe this is the Western side-blotched lizard, Uta stansburiana elegans.
Saw several of these in the rocks where I found the chuckwalla, Mojave National Preserve. -

I also saw a tiger whiptail, zebra tailed lizard and lots of desert iguanas. I don't feel bad about not getting good photos of any of these, because there are tame individuals of these species in my yard in Arizona 😆
Edit: looks like the whiptail is a Great Basin whiptail, Aspidoscelis tigris tigris according to CaliforniaHerps.com, as opposed to what Tucson Herpetological Society calls tiger whiptail, Aspidoscelis tigris. 🤔
This is the first time I've ever seen zebra-tails or desert iguanas outside of town, where I guess they must be a little more used to people. These ones would bolt full sprint 50 to 100 feet away from me. The ones in town are highly skittish, but you can generally get a little bit closer to them.
If you want to see pictures of these species, just look back at the hashtags in my profile.

Another "life lizard" from my day #herping near Kelso Dunes, Mojave National Preserve. Long nosed leopard lizard. It sat there letting me photograph it for a while, then got bored and disappeared into a hole.

Today's #LizardReport is a little different because I am on a road trip. Camped out at Kelso Dunes and spent the morning herping in Mojave National Preserve.
7 species of lizard, 4 of them "life lizards"! Here's the first, Phrynosoma platyrhinos, a horned lizard. Look at that camo! They're sooo cute!
(It's intermission at a live theater performance, so I'll post more later or tomorrow in this thread.)

CW: very large toad
friends, don't let anyone tell you that animals are dumb.
this ginormous cane toad found its way into my room and into the cats' water dish - apparently the only little pool of water it could find during a recent dry period.
it started coming back night after night.
at one point, i put on my garden gloves, put it in a bucket, and dumped it in my azolla pond outside.
the next day, it was back.
i put the cats' water dish up on a table next to my bed (these toads don't really hop up high).
the next night, i saw it near where the water dish used to be.
that toad was learning, thinking, strategizing, remembering, and being sneaky.
so yea, next time you read some news article that's like "can you believe it?? animals can remember things!!", just shake your head because animals HAVE to be smart and learn and remember where resources are in their environment if they want to survive. and not just resources - where the threats are, etc.

A beautiful Scarlet King Snake the team found the other night.
Please know that Coral Snakes are very venomous and look quite similar. And note, the cute saying is not foolproof, there are Coral snake color morphs that fail the “red touch black, friendly jack, red touch yellow kill a fellow” saying. Handled by trained biologists briefly, who can accurately identify snakes beyond cute sayings, and then promptly put back to where it was found.

Looks like snaky snek, the big gopher snake I caught the other day is hanging around. Went out to the back yard and found it hunting along the back wall where some of the salvage lumber is stored.
I really wish I had a mouse to feed it (sorry, mouse!). It would be fun to make friends with a big wild snake. How cool would that be? Go out in the yard and whistle like I do for the lizards and have a big ol' snake crawl up and hang out?
