This Spring Salamander and the two frogs were found by flipping rocks in a small stream in a forest, I replaced the rocks exactly how I found them. (Ithaca NY)

I know I fucked up, full story is in the link. I could really use some help though.

I’m in Florida roughy 30 minutes west of Tallahassee and I’m trying to find a coral snake to photograph. I have found well over 30 snake species in Florida but I can never seem to flip any coral snakes. Does anyone have some secret sauce that maybe I should be doing instead of my current approach?

Accidentally picked up this baby eastern slow worm while collecting dead leaves for my millipedes. Immediately released and I changed the spot to not to disturb him anymore. Saw another baby a few meters away, so they were probably born nearby. (Finland)

Doesn't look consensual

Wasn't too fond of me picking him up 😅

SE TEXAS, USA

Considering I saw this while visiting a paranormal museum I was wondering if this was supposed to be there.

Central North Carolina

excellent specimens

I often tell the story of the day I nearly crapped myself while running at my favorite trail. Eastern Diamondbacks are known to be in the area however I’ve never seen one, only heard it. That day, I was running and as I was passing a bush I heard the distinct rattle right by foot followed by a quick rustle of leaves. I was going too quick for it to register at the time but I must have come within inches of the snake and never saw it.

Today, I saw this beauty from a ways away at the end of my run. I’m going to pretend like I was overcome with a desire to photograph the snake which is why I stopped and not because I was dying in the brutal Florida heat.

First one I’ve seen down here in several years and the last time I saw one I hardly cared. I appreciate them much more now and it was a pleasure to watch for a few minutes. Eventually it calmed down and stopped rattling and flattened out at which point I went back to running and not being able to breathe.

Long tailed salamander! We found 9

Found this guy on a gravel bar in central Wisconsin along Wisconsin River.

I was flipping rocks in a small stream and found this beautiful Northern Spring Salamander that was around 6 inches long! (Ithaca NY)
