Yeah, I have venomous as well as general info like defense strategies.
(Also if anyone would like to trade notes/tests that would be great, just PM me.)
Alright cool that is what I have for the most part too, just for some it looks small. Guess I will find out if its good at my first tournament :lol:

Also I am writing a B test for a tournament my High School is hosting, if you would like I could send the test to you after I have administered it.
That'd be great, thanks.

I only have ~100 pages, unlike last year for invasives when I had ~300.

That is what mine are looking to be too (I have not finished yet, mission has been a real time sink), I personally prefer a smaller binder it forces me to learn more of the material. If you want me to send the B Test I am making I wont be really able to until about December 15th ish.

I'm also expecting around the same amount (though I haven't been going in-depth on the various species/subspecies in many cases, e.g. Trachemys).

Me either, I have just been looking at species with interesting traits, I am also hoping the proctors just avoid writing tests that require information specific to species names and traits.

What have you been doing for dividing it? In invasives most people had it divided into each species, but now on the list, some have genus and some don't. I've been labeling it with the lowest classification on the list, but I was wondering if there was a different way you used.

I'll probably divide by some logical major classifications, same as I did in Fossils.

I'm doing it a bit different than my fossils binder (the binder will be large like the fossils and rocks binder). Instead of only having pages for the smallest classification, I will have pages for each classification mentioned. i.e. one set of pages for crocodylia and one set for crocodylidae.

I'm doing the same, although I don't expect to have more than one page per taxon.

I may put mine in alphabetical order idk yet though.
