The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology recently acquired tens of thousands of reptile and amphibian specimens, including many snakes. Research collections manager Greg Schneider estimates the new material donated by Oregon State University contains around 30,000 snakes.

The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology could be slithering into history, thanks to its acquisition of tens of thousands of snake specimens Greg Schneider, research museum collections manager for the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology’s division of reptiles and amphibians, holds a jar containing snake specimens Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023, in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Boxes containing water snakes, garter snakes, woodland salamanders, dusky salamanders and other species arrived last month. They were euthanized and ultimately placed in a solution that is 75% ethanol. The donations represent the lifetime work of two retired Oregon State professors, Lynne Houck and Stevan Arnold, who received a doctorate from Michigan in 1972.

“The more stuff you have and the more associated materials that you have, the more things you can do,” Schneider said.
