Turtle Leaderboard, the HoTX Big Year, and Snake Days

The leaderboards for the Turtles and Crocodilians Challenge and the Big Year were double counting subspecies, so here are new leaderboards that only counts species. Check out how many species you have for 2016:

Currently the HoTX Big Year stands at 173 species with @ashleytubbs leading with 83 species.

The Turtles and Crocodilians Challenge has documented 21 species, and @kucycads is leading with 11 species. The challenge goes until May 31st, so you have plenty of time to steal it away... The results will be announce, and prizes awarded, at Snake Days the first weekend in June.

Speaking of Snake Days, here is the leaderboard: http://www.inaturalist.org/projects/snake-days-2016 Stoney is sponsoring some great prizes for such a short five day challenge. There will be prizes for most species of herps, ans a separate prize for most species of snakes. In addition, @skystevens is giving a 1st edition copy of Snakes and Snake Hunting by Carl Kauffeld to the person who posts the most observations.
