Sandia National Laboratories wildlife biologists Austin Lewandowski and Evan Fahy check a herpetology trap for snakes, lizards, frogs and other critters on land controlled by the Department of Energy. Only reptiles and amphibians are evaluated as a part of species inventory, and everything that creeps, crawls, hops and slithers is set free.
