Keep Herp Calendar free
Hi, I'm Nick. I built Herp Calendar on my own and I keep it free, with no ads. If it has helped you find a herp this season, a small tip goes straight into the hosting and the data work. Only if you can spare it. Either way, I'm glad you're here.

Habitat
A new study in 2024 from the University of Florida suggests that the invasive lizard found in over 20 counties may indirectly increase the risk of mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile virus. The species is native to West Africa.Wikipedia ↗
