#FindThatLizard My daily lunch view edition. FYI #FindThatLizard will be returning in just a few weeks! The end of 2025 was especially hard on me and I really needed this break but I’m so excited to get back to it. I’ll share more soon. Stay tuned 🦎💜

Some of my friends introduced me to peanut butter, honey, and banana on toasted bread and let me tell you, I’m obsessed.

As a thank you to all of the amazing people who have supported me over the years, I’m offering 25% off #SciArt and #ScienceFashion on #Etsy until Dec 7 (www.etsy.com/shop/beatasc...). Hoping to have more time to focus on my art soon, so message me with cool ideas for designs or collaborations!

Don’t forget about the #FindThatLizard Scholarship!! Please share #science #scholarship #funding #herps #HERpers #lizards #snakes #frogs #salamanders #game #challenge #education

Why are gallstones so painful?? They are itty bitty and yet I’m over here struggling. I had a particularly bad flare up and I thought I was dying 😭😭

Our #SciComm booth at LA Comic-Con was all about the science behind #Pokémon! It was a joy to see people of all ages engaging with our activities and creating DNA jewelry. Thank you @afroherper.bsky.social, @cosplayforscience.bsky.social, IF/THEN and the Ecologik Institute for this collaboration ❤️

Can you #FindThatLizard? You're searching for an adult Yarrow's spiny lizard, Sceloporus jarrovi. Since the scholarship recently opened, I figured that I would highlight one of my favorite species.

So much has been happening in my life that I haven’t had a chance to make any pottery the last two months. I finally got a chance to make this large bowl and I feel so good afterwards.

Sitting in the car for a little bit while as transitions time is so crucial

@afroherper.bsky.social is incredibly awesome, and take a look at this #scholarship!

HELL. YEAH.

This is beautiful. I want to see the next gen of happy herpers!

An awesome opportunity!

This is the (a) reason I love it here.

This is awesome! Check it out, fellow lizard-lovers! 😃😃😃

Our friend, former guest, and frequent panelist Dr. Earyn McGee @afroherper.bsky.social has set up a scholarship for women pursuing a future in herpetology! If you're interested, definitely apply!

The #FindThatLizard Scholarship is accepting applications until 12/10. We fund girls, women, and gender non conforming persons pursuing herpetology🦎🐍🐸🐢 I can’t wait to read your application! earynmcgee.com/findthatliza...

Yall life has been wild. I took a job as a middle school teacher and the way these kids are being raised is not how I was raised. Too many of them care about looking cool vs getting an education.

Can you #FindThatLizard and that scholarship?! I am incredibly excited to announce that the 2nd annual #FindThatLizard Scholarship is now open! You can find the application at earynmcgee.com/findthatliza...

One of the best feelings in the world is when you start to feel your nervous system exiting survival mode

it is true✨

I have so many lizard photos I need to go through and edit. But I still need more. As winter approaches I’m thinking of taking a quick trip south (Mexico,central,South America) To get some more photos. Any suggestions on where to visit in December?

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Check out our newest episode: Our "Star Wars Critters" panel at LA Comic Con. We chat creatures from the GFFA and their real-world counterparts with SW Bestiary author @stbende.bsky.social @afroherper.bsky.social & more. Video & slides on our YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyXw...

Can you #FindThatLizard Last weekend, I went to Big Bear with some friends. Although it’s getting to the end of lizard season, I was hoping to get a few #FindThatLizard photos. I knew if nothing else, the western fence lizard Sceloporus occidentalis wouldn’t disappoint me.

NGL getting FindThatLizard out today was hard. I've been suffering with burnout and depression as of late. I'll make it through but I need life to go ahead and throw me a month or two of ease.

Can you #FindThatLizard Like many other lizards, the western banded gecko (Coleonyx variegatus) can drop its tail when threatened by a predator. However, losing their tail could mean a life-or-death fight for this nocturnal species.

Herp gods finally blessing me with a southern alligator lizard!

Can you #FindThatLizard in Toledo?! My mentor Tien and her partner John were recently in Toledo, Spain for a wedding when they came across a Iberian wall lizard (Podarcis hispanicus). 📷: Luis Fernández García, CC BY-SA 3.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0>, via Wikimedia Commons

This is the moment I was born for and I missed it 😭😭😭 #FindThatLizard

Can you #FindThatLizard?! It’s my birthday this Sunday so for this week’s challenge, I wanted to reflect on my love for lizards and why I wanted to share that love with all of you. I wasn’t always obsessed with lizards. In fact for most of my life, I didn’t even give them a second thought.

The #FindThatLizard scholarship has reached 66% of our $5000 goal! I started this scholarship because i wanted to support women and gender non conforming scientists, especially those of color, achieve their goals. Will you help us meet our goal? www.ecologikinstitute.org/fieldnotes/f...

Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.

In just a month or two, I’m going to be able to travel to get lizard pics for #FindThatLizard and I’m so excited! I’ve wanted to do this for 8years and it’s finally about to happen!

Anyways look at this cool lizard themed pottery I made! It may not make sense now but it will later. Full explanation coming soon!

I’m going to have to leave my apartment cause of the job situation & at first I felt really sad cause it feels like a failure having to move back home but the more I think on it, the more I feel like I’m on the precipice of a whole new life for the better. Some really good shit is also happening.

Damn, be safe out there kids, don't touch wild animals!

My best friend’s daughter told me she feels safer when I’m around and 🥹🥹🥹

Can you #FindThatLizard in the City? The western fence lizard, Sceloporus occidentalis, adapts really well to urbanized areas such as Downtown Los Angeles. In less urban areas they’re on rocks, logs, and tree trunks. They may switch to buildings, walls, and sidewalks in more urban spaces.

Hey y’all! After all the World Lizard Day activities AND going to Baltimore for ESA, I needed a break. What did I miss??

Can you #FindThatLizard? What do you do when you run into a couple of species found in the same area that look very similar? You turn to your field guide! This week’s challenge photo was submitted by Sven @sveniverson.bsky.social

Anyways what I came on here to say was that me and my bestie got tickets to the new Demon Slayer movie and I CANNOT be more excited!!

My last post didn’t post 🥺🥺 Yall will just have to get it later 😭

"Some lizards give LIVE BIRTH! 🦎✨" Yarrow’s spiny lizard does and it’s the first species I ever studied. Picture me: a pre-freshman at Howard University, telling anyone who would listen that I wanted to work with animals…

I #foundthatlizard! Can you?
