(Me and one of "my" turtles in the lab)

Hi! My name is Joy Hester, I am a senior Biology Major here at Davidson College, and I hail from the beautiful city of Loveland, CO. I have been involved in the Davidson College Herpetology Laboratory since the end of my Sophomore year and I am particularly interested in the ecology of box turtles. I hope to continue working with turtles and other reptiles and amphibians next year in Veterinary School.

See the links below to learn about the projects I am working on. Most of these projects are in progress, but the links should give you some idea as to what I am working on. :) Feel free to email me with any questions you may have about these projects, box turtles, or being a bio major at Davidson (or if you would like to use any of the pictures). I will do my best to answer :)
