Our 2026 Mascot
Our good luck mascot for the 2025 Baton Rouge Region City Nature Challenge is the Mudsnake. This beautiful snake is black with red markings on the underside, and lives along the edges of cypress swamps and streams. It is pretty rare to see one because they spend a lot of time burrowed in the mud. They eat amphiumas and other amphibians.

The 2026 sticker depicts a Mudsnake with beautiful black and red scales.
The Artist
Thes sticker was designed by Baton Rouge artist, Rordam James. Rordam is a Master Naturalist and uses their knowledge of the natural world to blend the natural with the fantastical. Hand illustration with ink is Rordam’s favorite medium, but also delves into others, including the digital world via computer animation, which Rordam studied at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Here are some of Rordam’s previous designs:
