Do you see any photos that you like on this site? Prints are available for purchase, and the proceeds go towards supporting my research and education. If there is a Southeastern U.S. species that you would like a photo of, I may be able to provide one. I will be adding photos on a regular basis.

Include "Terrapene Studios Photography" or something to that effect in the subject heading.
