Tortoises have traditionally been the poster child for slowness. These ancient, armoured reptiles are solitary, territorial and all-too-often dismissed as dull.In fact, tortoises have distinct personalities. They have changeable moods, can learn simple tasks, remember certain useful information for years and even recognise familiar people. But can they play?Hot on the trail of tortoise tomfoolery, Hannah and Dara explore the stereotype-smashing studies that show there's far more to these creatures than previously thought; and find out that these complex behaviours might apply not only to the turtle clan, but potentially other reptiles as well...To submit your question to the Curious Cases team, please email: curiouscases@bbc.co.ukContributors: - Anna Wilkinson, Professor of Animal Cognition at the University of Lincoln - Unnar Karl Aevarsson, Herpetologist at ZSL London Zoo - Gordon Burghardt, Distinguished Service Professor in the Departments of Psychology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee Producer: Lucy Taylor Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem A BBC Studios Production

I had Bob Ashley on today and what an interesting guy he is. I really enjoyed this podcast because it speaks to something that I've always enjoyed, which is  herpetology. As a child I was fascinated with reptiles and I'm still fascinated with them. Anybody who knows me has probably seen me move rattlesnakes off the road because I don't want them to get hurt. If you like herpetology, you're going to love this podcast  (plus it's the year of the snake). If you don't like herpetology and snakes, then you may not find it as interesting as I did.Bob has the Chiricahua Desert Museum, which is right on the border of New Mexico and Arizona off the I-10. It's not that far from Tucson and it's not only a museum of desert animals, but a museum that preserves and displays Apache material called the Apache Museum and Geronimo Events Center.He really is one of the top people in this field and a ton of different research gets done as a result of his commitment to herpetology, but he loves Native American art, specifically Apache because he lives and operates his museum in that region. He's very close to the point where Geronimo surrendered to the U.S. government. The museum has lots of different things that you can see and the whole history of that region from an indigenous standpoint, from Mimbres on up.Unique podcast, unique individual. I hope you do listen to it and I hope you go and visit it, which is at the Chiricahua Desert Museum, because it's a very interesting place to go. That's what this podcast is all about and that's what Bob Ashley is all about. He and I have, a similar love for snakes, herpetology, and Native American art. 

We are joined by herpetologist Tom Major and Ben Marshall from  @herpetologicalhighlights  to discuss how to become a herpetologist and much more!

Send us a textIn this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks chats with snake expert Bob Ashley on his fascinating new book, A Photographic History of Snakebite Treatments: Bad Medicine Snake Oils, Potions, Elixirs and Kits. From ancient remedies described in Hebrew Scriptures to modern day antivenom, he discusses the intriguing, sometimes shocking history of snake bite treatments throughout the centuries. He advises what everyone should do if they get bit by a venomous snake, and rest assured, it's not to use a snakebite kit from your local store. Bob Ashley is a herpetologist, entrepreneur and museum director. He is founder of the Chiricahua Desert Museum in New Mexico and has a lifelong passion for reptiles and amphibians. *New* SUBSCRIBE for Bonus Episodes!You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here.Support the show

In this episode, Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Henry Mushinsky, Professor Emeritus at the University of South Florida, for a deep dive into his career. They explore his early passion for herpetology, shaped by his childhood adventures catching watersnakes in the bayous of Louisiana. However, a move to Florida and the region's development pressures shifted his focus toward conservation biology. Dr. Mushinsky shares compelling stories from his time in Florida, including his efforts to conserve gopher tortoises in rapidly developing landscapes and his collaboration with Disney to protect rare sand skinks.Connect with Henry at the University of South Florida.

In the 1960-1970s a promoter by the name of Frank Hansen toured the country side with what he claimed was the real body of an ape man frozen in a block of ice. Some say that this creature was a hoax, while other claim it's a Sasquatch, and some say it could even be a Rock Ape from Vietnam.Although the original specimen is lost to the world after Frank replaced it with a 100% fake version later on, there is at least ONE man who was there and can tell us what he saw first hand. The man responsible for bringing it to the attention of Ivan T Sanderson, and Bernard Heuvelman, Mr. Terry Cullen.Terry Cullen is the founder and director of The Cullen Vivarium, and Dragonwood Wildlife Conservancy, senior member of the IUCN Crocodile Specialist Group and eight of the subgroups.

Diamondback terrapins, a species of small turtle along the coastline and marsh of Long Island Sound were once near extinction, but they've made a great comeback in our state. This special species was once hunted to make turtle soup, to the point that there were no terrapins left in Sound. Now that hunting the terrapins has become illegal, they have started to return. This tenacious little guy is the only turtle that lives in brackish waters - a mix of fresh and saltwater. And we are right in the middle of their migratory season. This is the time when they are especially vulnerable to being run over when they cross the road. Preserving their population is no easy task. Nature centers around our state are looking for volunteers and citizen scientists to help track the local terrapin population in our state. Have you seen a terrapin where you live?

We've all heard of the Immaculate Conception and some of us may have our doubts, but crocodiles might be proving that this is actually possible. One female croc in a zoo in Costa Rica had never been in contact with a male when she produced a fully formed foetus, all on her own. Apparently, this isn't an uncommon occurrence for reptiles.

From creepy crawly to cuddly creatures? This week we learn from Dakota of Inspire Exotics that the bad reputation of our spider and reptile friends might be unwarranted. In this one Dakota walks us through her love of the less loved creature both for their species and also those in the species that she rescues from bad situations. She tells us some really amazing facts of spiders, snakes, and lizards and we get to learn about Pluto the outgoing Bearded Dragon she takes to schools to teaching about the misunderstood. This was a fun with a science communicator and master certified herpetologist all about a world that makes some people squirm._____________________________________Inspire Exotics Website: https://inspireexotics.com/Dakota's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspireexotics/All Things Dakota Link: https://beacons.ai/inspireexotics—————————————————————Link to all things Not in a Huff Podcast: https://linktr.ee/notinahuffpodcastPlease follow/subscribe to the podcast to be the first to see new episodes when they come out each week.

Host Mikaela Lefrak talks with herpetologist Jim Andrews about the reptiles and amphibians Vermonters should be on the lookout for in spring.

JD Kleopfer is the state herpetologist at Virginia's Department of Wildlife Resources. We begin this herpetological extravaganza on the illegal turtle trade between the US & China, then move on to reptile & amphibian natural history: turtle eggs & their predators, hibernation [properly called brumation], Appalachia's legendary hellbenders, salamander folklore, poisonous newts, vernal pools, & how-to make good herp habitat in your yard. For his stories, JD tells of finding a state-endangered tiger salamander site & another about his formative years as a young herper.  We close on today's conservationist youths, The Great Dismal Swamp & canebrake rattlesnakes.  Join Virginia's Herpetological Society & check out a short documentary about Protecting Appalachia's Hellbenders.Music provided by Luke Brindley"Raritan River Blues"Written by Luke BrindleyCourtesy of Luke Brindley Support Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com

*Content warning: this episode contains descriptions of violence that might be disturbing to some listeners.* Herpetologists do a lot of unique things while studying lizards—cut their toes, pump their stomachs, and capture them by lassoing their necks. That one small word, “lasso,'' wasn't always the word used in the discipline. Herpetologist Earyn McGee, one of the few Black females in the field, proposed researchers stop using the word “noose” to describe capturing lizards, and start using a more accurate, less oppressive word, like “lasso.”  Thanks for listening!

After a long day of brainstorming new podcast ideas, Lexman Artificial's resident herpetologist Rob Reid has a breakthrough. He realizes that all cavefishes hinge their posture upon their pelvic fins, which allows them to move seamlessly through the tight spaces of the cave's systems. In addition to giving the fish an advantage when it comes to maneuvering, this heeling posture also allows the cavefishes to sense when they're near the surface, ready to leap out and explore. This hidden knowledge may hold the key to solving the mystery of the disappearing cavefish population, and Lexman Artificial is excited to explore

Jed Buchwald, an expert in tome herpetology and Spoonful sibilancy, stops by to chat about the origins of both terms. Lexman is fascinated by Jed's knowledge and finds an interesting way to spice up the conversation by bringing in Spoonful sibilancy as a topic of discussion.

The Bankhead National Forest in Alabama is a place of shadowed canyons and rushing coldwater creeks, crystalline waterfalls and bluff shelters blackened by the smoke from campfires over thousands of years. It's an island of rare plants and wildlife and old growth trees in a state where coalmining and industrial forestry and now the sprawl of cities have radically altered the landscape. Come with us to Moulton, Alabama, and meet native son Joseph Jenkins, a biologist and herpetologist, hunter and angler, who is working to save two of the most imperiled and least known creatures in the forest: the flattened musk turtle and the Black Warrior waterdog. What is it like to spend one's life working to save two species that almost no one would miss if they disappeared? What did Aldo Leopold mean when he said, “The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to keep all the parts”? How did the fine chisel of evolution result in these two highly specialized creatures living only here, in this last piece of public lands wild country, in a region facing total transmogrification at the hands of humankind?   

Scott joins us in this episode to discuss all things having to do with the conservation and management of amphibians and reptiles in the State of Rhode Island.

BHA Podcast & Blast, Ep. 128: Alabama Herpetologist Jimmy Stiles The Conecuh National Forest in south Alabama is known as the Heart of the Longleaf, a landscape of tall pine and wiregrass, restoration and recovery, humming with life and comprising a wild diversity of plants and wildlife found nowhere else. Field biologist, herpetologist, student of deep time, and full-time hunter and fisherman Jimmy Stiles lives and works in the Conecuh, leading efforts to recover the endangered indigo snake (North America's largest and arguably most impressive snake species) and restore the longleaf forests that were once the southern U.S.-dominant ecosystem – all while having a rollicking good time way out there in the farthest reaches of the wild, hot, buggy and snaky Deep South. Hal caught up with Jimmy on Oak Mountain in Alabama this spring at the BHA Southeast Chapter Backcountry Jubilee.
