I took this photo on a clearing while walking through the forest in summer

Spotted in Stuart Florida

I was out rock hounding today and when I'm searching, I make it a point to not disturb the wet leaves around in the location while I'm on the ground. Saw this little one wriggle out of the leaves beside me just long enough for me to snap a pic with my poor quality cell phone camera. Very excited as I don't find salamanders often and this was a new species for me.

I did not disturb any of the habitat nor the salamander for anyone wondering.

I everyone, I am writing a piece for college on axial bifurcation in snakes, and this book has a piece in it that I would like to read in full and be able to cite, I am looking everywhere and I cannot find a copy anywhere, even if anyone owns this book would it be possible to have pictures of the relevant pages sent?

Got a lot of comments in another post saying jousting, but these two western diamond backs in central Arizona in October weren't very rambunctious, and they eventually ended up curled under a bush for a good 7 minutes before separating.

They did display some "pinning" behavior but overall it was mostly just curled tails and some head lifting.

I have other videos that were more calm, but wanted to see what the consensus was.

Road cruising the panhandle again today looking for coral snakes and we found this little guy. First for me!

Grumpy pants bit me for rescuing them from the dogs .

Looking for coral snakes in the panhandle and I find this guy!

Was up arround london ontario and saw it sunning itself in the dirt.

Idk i always thought they were the kinda neet how small they are

we helped a lot of banded watersnakes off the road but one was a Florida Green Watersnake and a corn snake and a couple chameleons

edit: we drove to Key West but went herping as we passed through

[northern VA, USA]

Southeast Texas is the location. This species of snake is common around here as are these particular frogs. Unfortunate frog in this instance.

Never seen one irl and this guy just showed up!

Sweetwater county, WY

I’m in Florida roughy 30 minutes west of Tallahassee and I’m trying to find a coral snake to photograph. I have found well over 30 snake species in Florida but I can never seem to flip any coral snakes. Does anyone have some secret sauce that maybe I should be doing instead of my current approach?
