I think I could live with such a job...
The difference between the two populations is interesting. Differing leg lengths sounds weird but as for the colours, might that not simply be a day / night thing?
This job isn't so bad no
Especially if you have some opportunities to take your students into the field like this!
As for the difference between the two populations. We saw several individuals and while most were rather plump and heavily spotted in the first, in the second population they were all rather pale and long limbed. I don't think it is a difference between day and night, I have them in the classroom for years and never saw them change colour at night. As almost every muletensis population is incredibly isolated it might be not so far fetched to think there would be genetic differences as well.

well you know what I think about it, but again huge congrats to this wonderful project.
It is an amazing opportunity to show pupils animals in the wild and then even in a different country, it must have been an awesome experience for them (and you too). For sure it will be an experience for their whole lifetime!
Keep up the good work and also Wouter who joined you.
cheers Kai
Thanks Kai! Actually I don't know what you think about it
But it was great to see the students enthusiasm over every gecko and beetle we found. Of course that also makes me take a second look at every animal we found and appreciate the common species

Joking aside-great job, the world needs more teachers like you.
Haha, maybe you can still pretend to be 18
At least in behaviour I know I could
