Shabnam told me she doesn't even want to be in her garden anymore.

She's so stressed out by...

this spike in garden visitors.

And she says it's not uncommon for her to hear an army of frogs croaking in her neighborhood at night or to find multiple brightly colored lizards sunning on the grass.

And now she's like, where did all of these come from?

Today on the show, we are going on a lizard hunt.

We're talking to local experts about why so many lizards and frogs are showing themselves now, and whether there's a way to manage Shabnam's clammy, scaly little problem.

And this month, Emily, you and I are investigating the world of herpetology, frogs, snakes, lizards, salamanders, to help out our listener Shabnam in Georgia.

I love it.

Okay.

So first things first, to start this nature quest, I needed to know what specific frogs and lizards Shabnam was seeing in her yard.

Naturally.

There are around 180 reptiles and amphibians native to Georgia, so I kind of needed to narrow it down.

So I asked her to send me some pictures.

Emily, I'm sending them to you right now.

Okay.

Do you want to describe these little creatures for our listeners?

So this is Daniel Sollenberger, and he's a herpetologist and senior wildlife biologist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

Basically everywhere.

Okay, so these are not invasive lizards and frogs.
