Snakes and lizards get a bad rap but the colors and intricate patterns of their scales is a visual, Escher, delight. I was raised the only child of a geologist and spent considerable time in the California and Baja California deserts where reptiles were my only playmates. Several of my most memorable adventures have been in search of extreme reptiles. The Marine Iguana is my favorite of all; an aquatic lizard that inspired the creation of Godzilla. I have twice had the privileged to sail and explore the Galapagos Islands. http://www.galapagocruise.com/cruises/eric-letty-flamingo/
Quite recently, I sailed to Komodo Island in a frail wooden boat, hiked the islands and encountered the Komodo dragon. I am in awe of the remarkable reptiles that inhabit the remote reaches of our planet. Check out this summer of slither at the San Francisco Academy of Science!
