Probably the crown jewel of my field herping exploits-don't know how I can ever top this one.

Wow!
Brilliant shots, indeed. To be there at that exact special moment is definitely very good luck.
I would certainly enter the calendar competition with those!

Thanx for sharing, by the way.
 
Thanks for the screen saver!!

wow. I love this genus... I doubt if I'll ever see that species in person but it is the gem of the aneides.


Great photos... This may never have been photographed before by anyone... excelsior!
 
It gets even better. I went back last night for an update:

I made two more unusual sightings while I was out and fortunately both are appropriate in the plethodontid forum.

I wonder how a Plethodon ended up on the bottom of a stream?
 
Hi Kevin,

I just had to say these are amazing photos!! These are the shots that a field herper can usually only dream about! You must be in an amazing area truly!

I think the plethodontid "couple" and that last photo of all those babies should be contenders for the calendar (IMO ;) )!
 
Amazing... simply amazing! What a spectacular event to be photographed, the species is beautiful. I would agree with the rest of the members that these should definitely be submitted for the calendar competition.

Thanks for sharing!!!

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
