And don't forget about the Spring Turtle Challenge: To celebrate the arrival of a new guide Texas Turtles & Crocodilians by Troy D. Hibbitts ( @troyhibbitts )and Terry L. Hibbits ( @dianaterryhibbitts ), we are posting a Spring challenge to see who can find the most species of Turtles and Crocodilians. If you find more than one wild crocodilian, I will be very impressed! All observations must be made between January 1st and May 31st, 2016. The top two winners will receive a copy of the new guide signed by the authors.
