The Calusa Herpetological Society Of Southwest Florida

Thursday, February 1, 2018 - 7:00 pm

SPEAKER & TOPIC: Tonight's speaker is Calusa Herp Society member Daniel Parker of Sunshine Serpents (www.sunshinesepents.com). Through his company he guides reptile-themed eco tours, gives educational presentations, photographs herps, assists with TV and film production, and breeds captive reptiles. Parker's photographs have appeared in Reptiles, Reptilia, and Herp Nation magazines as well as numerous other publications world wide. He is also a biologist with University of Central Florida (UCF) and DRMP.

His biological interests have involved diverse species. These include indigo snakes, gopher tortoises, sand skinks, Florida black bears, and many established exotics such as the Burmese python. Parker hopes that his work has helped to promote an increased understanding of Florida's natural environment and the wildlife that lives there.

For the Calusa Herp Society, Parker will be presenting *Field Herping Adventures in South Florida.*  This presentation will include photos of many colorful critters and characters from our own backyard ranging from king snakes and pythons to Bill Love. Don't miss this one!

See you there!
