[jesper]

16.Ambystoma...barbouri?

[william]

no, no, no and no sorry Joan & Jesper.

some of there are really stinkers, the eye is just plain evil!

 

[ali]

I don't suppose it's a t gran eye on 45? It doesn't quite look as detailed as the ones on mine. Maybe's is a lazy colorationed eye? Lol.

And yes, I think I made that word up.

23 - Pseudotriton montanus?
