I failed to get my target species (Saltmarsh Mangrove Snake (orange phase) or any SMS, Eastern Glass Lizard and Cane Toad) for 2024.

I did get two new species for Pinellas. A Bark Anole and two different sightings of Peter's Rock Agamas.

I'm pretty sure I had a Little Brown Skink, but lost it in the leaf litter.

It was nice to find an alive Eastern Musk Turtle and not just a shell.

And I went over 1000 iNaturalist Herp sightings.
