In this episode I interview Viviana Ricardez (@first_lady_of_texasturtles on Instagram). Viviana is a serious turtle nerd and the vice president of a non-profit organization that is dedicated to the study and conservation of Texas turtles (texasturtles.org). We talk all about the natural history of turtles, turtle conservation, turtle research, alligator snapping turtles, how to find turtles, and other turtle-y topics.
