I'm finally catching up with some trips of the past few years. In May 2024 I visited Guatemala and was guided by my friend Fred Muller. The herps I saw on that trip are listed here.

A few months later my wife and I went to the Pantanal area in Brazil to look for Jaguars, and I managed to find a handful of herps on that trip.

I still need to add the long list of herps I saw on a Tropical Herping-led trip to Ecuador in April 2025. I'm working on it, I promise!

In April-May 2023 I visited Madagascar for my third time, this time being guided by the experts from Tropical Herping. I saw more species on this trip than I've ever seen on any trip anywhere, and here they are.

Early this year I took my fourth trip to Peruvian Amazonia with MT Amazon Expeditions. It took me a long time to finally get my observations onto wildherps.com, but at long last here they are.
