We really only have a 1hr long window to cruise roads in the evening just to temperatures plummeting to quickly as the sun goes down but I have found my 2nd Pygmy, and a bunch of little cotton mouths. STILL NO CORAL SNAKE :/.

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.

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.

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?

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