Hello Forum,

this is my initial posting on this wonderful forum. I would like to show you some pictures of "my" local herpetofauna.

The year starts here with Salamandra salamandra which are of undefined subspecies as S.s. salamandra meets S.s. terrestris here.

This year I found my first hibernated "giantlarva"


We got an excellent botanical garden here, it serves as habitat for some nice animals like:
The forum-rules do not allow "handled" animals... This one is "footed" and the picture is not even faked


Bombina variegata



We have some sandpits around, I go there mostly for
Epidalea calamita



Rana temporaria



In the surrounding of course there is BUfo bufo


And while helping some toads to cross the road I find some "freaks" sometimes, like this Lissotriton vulgaris female


We also have some Reptiles around, I will post that someday too!

Best Greetings,
Kamil Szepanski

Thanks for sharing your pics. Love the one with the common toad on your toe. *g*

Thank you Sandra! It was amazing - just had my feet in the water and short after there were up to 3 males hanging on my toes! It was pretty good - many kids got curious and so I had the chance to explain herps a bit to them!
