Nice local shots, y'all. I esp. liked the wheelbug(?) nymphs, the bird-doodie colored frog & the vulture.

Whatcha have there in #36 & 37? I was thinking some kind of Amphiuma but the rear legs quashed that.

Some very nice finds here. I do alot of hiking and herping in the hudson valley myself and i'd love to know where these pictures were taken, although i understand if you don't want to say for fear of collectors. I can identify almost all of your reptiles and frogs, and i know the eastern newt all too well(there are places where i have to tip toe through after it rains to avoid stepping on them) but i'm having trouble identifying the other salamander pics.

I've got alot of pictures i've taken of local herps myself, and i intent to take many more this year, so i'll probably make my own thread for them when i have more time.

Awesome photos.

 

[Galapoheros]

Great pics! I was also wondering about 35 and 36 too. Not a neotenic sp imo, at first I thought it might be but I couldn't find something like that in NY in this book I have. You think it's just the larva of one of those sals you took pics of?

Non of the sals pictured here... that one was the largest. I have been trying to figure it out. It has a very unique head shape that i can't quite match up with anything yet.

These pictures have been taken all over. Mostly the local state parks.

northern spring salamander (Gyrinophilus p. porphyriticus) would be my guess

northern spring salamander (Gyrinophilus p. porphyriticus) would be my guess

again its head shape isn't right for that and they eyes are quite different... unless it is a juvenile form but i have failed at finding any pictures of the that.

 

[zonbonzovi]

I think loxo may be on to something and that very well could be the larval form...no pix on caudata.org of the juveniles but i'd bet my favorite hat that somebody could ID it there.
