I’m trying to remember a werewolf(?) horror movie where a major plot point is a character has a small penis and the prosthetic shown includes a substantial bush. I think it’s like “Blood Moon: Secondary Title” or something but I must be wrong. TIA

Looking for some advice/maybe an idea what to expect?

My advisor left the university last year and tried to get everything I needed to finish my projects paid for, but there were some delays outside of my control resulting in my NEBNext Ultra II FS DNA library prep kits and their associated dual-indexed multiplex oligos having expired by a couple months (but have been stored properly since I got them). My last lane of sequencing will need to wait until May, so it's not like I can pound out every last sample right now, either- I'm doing 80 now, 80 the moment I get back from the field in mid-May.

I think I've also only got enough library prep reactions for 120 of the 160 samples I need to do

I live in a relatively un-birded county in California and there's really only a few great spots within an hour's drive of me to bird. I'm working on finding others, don't worry.

This week I beat a thunderstorm out to the local NWR in time to see a large flock of Red-necked Phalarope land on one of the ponds. I counted well over 150 and because it was flagged as rare I justified it as follows (I went back to the notes later that night to give a more thorough explanation of how I knew they were Red-necked Phalarope and not Wilson's, but I'll spare y'all that since it's not strictly relevant to this):

Just hoping to get some advice on some aspects of my upcoming move to San Diego- I'll be attending the Master's program in the EB department. I'm moving from Milwaukee, WI.

Firstly, my girlfriend and I are looking at housing in La Mesa, Normal Heights, and Lemon Grove. From what I gathered perusing this sub, the first two are close to campus and relatively affordable. Any thoughts on Lemon Grove? We've been watching craigslist and we've seen some weirdo too-good-to-be-true ads. What's the typical price range we'd see for a two bedroom? Around how far in advance should we start looking? Any rental companies to avoid?

Secondly, I'm going to be selling (scrapping?) my car to help fund the mov

Hey r/herpetology!

I'm a Wisconsinite in Arizona for a week (Green Valley/Tucson area) I've been doing my homework, and have some ideas and spots picked out for looking for Mohave rattlers and WDBs, but I was wondering if anyone had any particular suggestions for time of day to go out. I'm looking for some of the more common stuff, though I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to see something rarer; it's just not what I'm out for.

Site suggestions are also welcome, but I get the sense that people out here, with one notable exception, guard their sites pretty jealously.

Where I'm from, you look for snakes in the morning on hot days or all day on mild days, lizards at the hottest part of the d

Hi herpers,

I recently had a herping trip cancelled, but due to the circumstances of how I was going to be getting to the site, I'm still heading west from Wisconsin. I'm hoping to hit some spots in Missouri on my way back (returning from Denver to Milwaukee by route of Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois).

However, I'm leaving in about two hours and am woefully unprepared to make some stops in Missouri- I was wondering if there are any Missouri herpers here who could point me to some interesting spots, either here or over PM.

If you have qualms about giving out secret sites, that's fine. I'm hoping to see some more common species, but that are different from what I'd see in Wisconsin.

I'll b

If you have lost a tortoise (I believe he's a Russian tortoise, but tortoises aren't my bailiwick) the Good Hope Rd area of Menomonee Falls, I have found him. Please email me with a photo of the lost animal if you would like him back. I'm asking for no finder's fee, and he's in good hands until you reclaim him.

If you abandoned this tortoise, there's a special circle of hell reserved for you. The tortoise would not survive a Wisconsin winter, and freezing a reptile is one of the most painful ways to die. If you abandoned this animal, you consigned him to die an agonizing and slow death.

Edit: This is a male Greek tortoise.
