While I focused my creative energies elsewhere, my inspiration, co-conspirator and leader on ‘House of Herps’, Amber from Birder’s Lounge, put together the inaugural edition of our herpetol hoedown: House of Herps #1.  I can’t recommend enough that you head over and unwrap a few gifts to see what ectothermic excitement awaits.

Also, always developing from Friday through Sunday, Modulator’s Friday Ark #274 has already formed and is growing as we speak.  Visit throughout the weekend for a mighty fine celebration of critters.
