AT Opportunity: Western Hognose Snakes in Texas: How many species?

May 15 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Webinar Description:

The Western Hognose Snake (Heterodon nasicus) is a grassland species historically found across most of Texas. There has been taxonomic uncertainty as to whether there are one, two, or even three species of western hognose in North America, potentially all occurring within the borders of our state. Corey will discuss his latest taxonomic conclusions as well as the current status of distribution of these secretive and charismatic snakes.

Bio:

Corey has been fascinated with all wildlife, but especially reptiles and amphibians, since early childhood. At age ten he told his parents he was going to move to Texas because there were a lot of snakes there. His professional interests include systematics and conservation biology of native Texas species, African frogs, and the pedagogy of teaching students and the public about wildlife and conservation. In his free time, his life is consumed by falconry, herping, hunting, fishing, and dog training.
