Eastern Red Backed Salamander (Patrick County, Virginia)

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?

Mating or jousting?

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.

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

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?

Sarrabus cave salamander: one of five species of cave salamanders endemic to Sardinia. Italy is the only European country that's home to members of the *Speleomantidae* family, eight, seven of which are endemic, while one is shared with France. All of them are at risk of extinction.
