In this picture, I’m with my boy, Duma. He’s a 1.5-year-old purebred golden retriever, half standard American and half English Cream. In one hand I have an African spurred tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata) also called a sulcata tortoise. They are native to arid regions of Africa and they are primarily herbivores with their diet consisting primarily of grasses and plants. In my other hand, I have a Brazilian rainbow boa (Epicrates cenchria). They are native to Central and South America and are well known for their beautiful shine or iridescence in the sunlight. A fun fact about boas is that they are an ovoviviparous species, meaning their eggs are hatched within the body of the parent and then live young are produced!

En esta imagen, estoy con mi niño, Duma. Es un golden retriever de pura raza de 1,5 años, mitad americano y mitad crema inglés. En una mano tengo una tortuga africana con espuelas (Centrochelys sulcata) también llamada tortuga sulcata. Son de las regiones áridas de África y son principalmente herbívoras con una dieta principalmente de hierbas y plantas. En la otra mano, tengo una boa arcoíris brasileña (Epicrates cenchria). Son de América Central y América del Sur y son bien conocidas por su hermoso brillo o iridiscencia en el sol. Un hecho divertido sobre las boas es que son una especie ovovivípara, lo que significa que sus huevos se incuban dentro del cuerpo y luego se producen crías vivas. : @artilesc
African spurred tortoise noms Just look at the big fleshy tongue going after the hay treat! Did you know that sulcata tortoises aka African spur-thigh, eat predominantly hay and grasses and should consume only small amounts of produce-lettuce and veggies.

The Roti Island snake-necked turtle (Chelodina mccordi), also commonly known as McCord's snakeneck turtle, is a critically endangered turtle species from Rote Island in Indonesia. The carapace can reach a length of 7.1–9.4 in (18–24 cm). The color of the carapace is a pale grey brown or really dark brown. The neck, which is nearly as long as the carapace, is dark brown. The iris is black surrounded by a white ring. They live in swamps, rice terraces and small lakes. The two or three remaining populations live in an area of only 70 km² (27 square miles). via @theamandafiles

Kael, mis on peaaegu sama pikk kui kilp, on tumedat värvi. Iiris on must, mida ümbritseb valge ring. Nad elavad soodesdes, riisiväljadel ja väikestes järvedes. Kaks või kolm veel elavat populatsiooni elavad vaid 70 km² suurusel alal. via @theamandafiles

I’m the luckiest person ever to have Galapagos tortoise goop on my hands. These precious eggs are carefully caught and put in the incubator to ensure a whole new generation of these endangered Earth guardians. ❤️
Thank you Jason for always including me in your zen. Isabella did great, now for Alberta!

Hi friends! If you listened to the Testudinology episode in the @ologies podcast you may have heard me say that I love connecting with people through social media whether or not others are in my same field. Since I’m seeing lots of new faces & getting so many fun Q’s, I’d love to get to know you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether or not you’ve been around for awhile or you’re a new follower, comment anything you feel like sharing about yourself.

Shall I start? Ok I’ll start. I’m studying gopher tortoises in south Florida & living the struggling grad student life. I suck at both writing & public speaking but it’s a thing I reeeeeallly want to be better at. I eat rice & beans for dinner at least 4 times a week because my family is from Puerto Rico & it’s a staple. My hobby is small wood working projects using reclaimed wood but I’m still learning & sometimes I still struggle with screwing 2 boards together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[tortoises handled under permits > we do population monitoring at some of our field sites & this tortoise got some fresh numbers so we can identify him in the future]
