Here is an article I just published on the Wandering Herpetologist website! This was the first year that the International Herpetological Symposium put on a Junior Herpetologist Award. Of course, I applied! One of the requirements was to write an essay on my favorite herp species, so I chose Abronia. On April 5th I found out that I was a runner-up for the IHS Junior Herpetologist Award! I am quite happy about that

Read up and enjoy learning about this amazing genus! http://www.wanderingherpetologist.com/arboreal-alligator-lizards/

Nice job Bethany. I enjoyed the article. I had never even heard of that genus before.

Good luck on the award!
