Salamanders!
First warm rain and I was able to find 2 red backed and 1 blue spotted, located in Ontario Canada. The blue spotted was quite grey!

Thirsty anole came running while I watered plants
We're in quite the dry spell in the SE, but I never expected an anole to come running toward me for water.
Before I grabbed my camera I managed to get it to drink from my hand. Ironically, it was scared of the bowl I brought out.

Caught in the act
I went out to check on my own reptiles and saw these skinks getting busy in my Rhino Iguana's enclosure!

Where do I start?
I really want to become a herpetologist (more broad but I wanna major in ecology or wildlife biology)
I just have 0 idea where to start, I am in high school and I have taken every science class I possibly can. I know that being a herpetologist isn't just the animal handling but it is also reading, writing and comparing data.
I think I would enjoy all aspects of it but I also wanna gain some experience. I frequently go out and capture various reptiles and amphibians and I wonder if theres any way I can get valuable information until I actually go to college.

Grandpa sent me this pic [Venezuela]
He knows I love reptiles but for the life of me I can’t identify it! My leading guess is some kind of anole…? But that head stamp and pattern seem so distinctive!!

[REQUEST] Photos of Amphibian Research Methods
Hey y’all, this is a really odd request, but does anyone have any photographs depicting amphibian research methods that I could use in a teen-oriented salamander monitoring guide for a summer camp?
The methods the kiddos will actually use are cover board sampling and transect surveys, but these are all the ones I include in the handbook:
• visual encounter surveys (VES)
• area-constrained sampling
• transect surveys
• pitfall traps/drift fences
• leaf litter sampling
• aquatic/stream sampling
• mark–recapture methods
• environmental DNA (eDNA)
I’m currently struggling to find pictures that fall under Creative Commons licensing. I will absolutely give credit if requested. I promise I’m not making a cent off of this; it’s just a passion project I’m doing for a professor I used to do research with.
Thanks!

Hello everyone. Your favorite indian vetmed has a few questions today for y'all.
Does anyone have/possess a care guide on Calloselasma rhodostoma, and naja samariensis? If y'all do own one, whats your care and husbandry management for them?
Does anyone/any zoological institution possess a Micropechis ikaheca? What're they like in captivity ?
Thank you and have a wonderful day people
