I just learned that the Massachusetts State reptile is the Garter Snake.
None in particular.
Very cool.

Wish we had a national reptile... we don't have enough to make it a fair competition!

Haha, all the professors in the ENS department get all excited whenever they come across a box turtle in the field. Apparently it's a very popular reptile!

Wish we had a state reptile. Maybe I'll write a letter.

You should do that! When lawmakers have nothing better to do they actually put suggestions like that on the floor. Seriously, NC's State Red Berry (yeah, we have a state RED berry as well as a state berry.. I don't know why...) is the strawberry because a fifth grader wrote a letter to her district's senator about why she wanted them to make that official.

Hmmmmm, I may just do that. My parents are acquaintances of one of our state senators. Not to get political (please no debating) I think our state gov. is awful. I doubt she will do anything, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
