Herpetology with Dr. Michael Keck

North Texas is home to a surprising diversity of reptiles and amphibians, from secretive salamanders and chorus frogs to iconic Texas snakes and lizards. In this talk, a PhD-trained quantitative biologist will explore the fascinating world of herpetology—the study of reptiles and amphibians.

Michael Keck grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. He received his Ph.D. in Quantitative Biology from the University of Texas at Arlington, where he studied snake ecology and physiology. He has been a biology professor at Grayson College since 2001. He lives with his wife, Trish, and their dogs in Savoy, Texas.
