I’m so excited you’ve decided to take this class! And who am I? I’m Melissa, co-founder and Executive Director of ASP (read more about me and ASP’s board members here).
I created this page to have a single place to put anything that comes up in class, instead of emailing around a bunch of links. And this page will continue to be available, though may change the next time we teach a WILL class.
Keeping Dogs Safe in Snake Country
Here’s our page with all the information we discussed, and much more, on dogs and snakes.
A Tale of Two Trash Snakes
In August, 2018, we were blessed by one of the most exciting and interesting wildlife observations in recent memory -– and it happened right in our yard here in Silver City, NM!
Regional Online Field Guides
We created a field guide on iNaturalist: Snakes of Grant County, New Mexico. This guide includes all the snake species documented in Grant County or close enough that they may occur here. Just want a species list? We got you covered.
You can also join or explore our project, Snakes & Lizards of Grant County, to learn about our local squamates (fancy word for snakes and lizards). This project includes all observations of snakes and lizards reported to iNaturalist. Add yours and get feedback to get better at identification.
