Hi everyone,
I am an Australian staying in Germany (Chemnitz) for a few weeks and would like to find as many of the herps (particularly amphibians) as possible.
Fire salamanders are high on my list and I have spent the last two nights in the wet broadleaf forests searching along streams for no result. I need to find better habitat with more fallen wood...
Also all of the newts and frogs I can find...
In Australia I herp all over the country from the tropical North and rainforested Northeast to the deserts, west coast and cool, wet southeast.
I also spent a year herping in Borneo and some time in Indonesia and New Guinea.
