🐍 Author of the Reptiles of Ecuador book
I can’t believe I am saying this, but after 14 years dedicating our lives to this project, we have a publication date for our long awaited book: the of Ecuador.
I will be revealing this to our inner circle at reptilesofecuador.com/newsletter 💌
A heartfelt thank you to the 305 backers who are making this project possible every day. 💚
Reptiles of Ecuador Information, maps, and images about Ecuador’s 493 species of reptiles in the online version of the Reptiles of Ecuador book.
Is this the most gruesome looking beast in the animal kingdom this 🎃?
This is a Giant ( pachynema) our team discovered by walking in the jungle during a downpour.
What do you think?
Ecuador’s luminous lizards found? 💡🦎
My team and I embarked on an to the Amazonian slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes. The goal was to find the mysterious lightbulb lizards and test their bio-luminescent capabilities.
We made an intriguing discovery, though it remains inconclusive, leaving us with a mystery we aim to unravel in the coming weeks.

Today, I want to reveal a secret project. During the past five years, my team and I have been studying an enigmatic group of Andean saurians known as the lightbulb .
What is special about these “bulbs”?
👉👉 https://www.khamai.bio/lightbulb_lizard_project.html
Lightbulb lizards (genus ) stand out as one of the world’s rarest and least studied lizard groups. Their elusive nature and burrowing tendencies have left a void of knowledge regarding their natural history, reproductive habits, and the extent of their species diversity.
Today, I want to share the story of the of Ecuador book, a meticulously created field guide that has gained attention due to its expansive scope, novel photographic style, open-access nature, and funding strategy.
The idea for a Reptiles of Ecuador book emerged in 2010 from a casual conversation with a wildlife photographer friend. I posed a question:
Why are there field guides for birds and mammals of Ecuador, but none dedicated to reptiles?
