A friend went bird watching in Siberia. He also has been taken some photos of amphibians and reptiles and asked me for a determination!?!
I have been searching on internet but did not find a herpetological Siberian checklist (to start).
Who can help me with advice or literature?
Sincere thanks
André

Hi,

for reptiles, PDF-1766 in database may help, for amphibians you may look to PDF-2507.
Or you may put the pictures here into the forum for determination.

Mario

I think you mixed up the PDF numbers, Mario?

Oh, yes - sorry!
Blame on me

the correct PDF´s are
for reptiles: PDF-1776
for amphibians: PDF-2506

Dear Mario,
I supposed I was misunderstanding something with the pdf's and that is now cleared. Thanks to you and to Jeroen!
Waw ... what a pdf base that there exist for the members of this forum. I do know what to read the coming weeks!
I gave it a try (with also the few Russian literature of my my personal library) and this is my presuming result.
Who can help me further on with the determination of thes A & R?
Spec ?

Rana temporaria ?

Rana arvalis ?

Pelophylax ?

Vipera berus ?

Bombina orientalis ?

Bufo ?


With sincere and many thanks in advance.
André

Oh, herps seem to be from the "far east" - on the pic of Bombina orientalis!
Your "berus" might be a member of Vipera renardi group. Locality would be very helpfull.
Also for all the other amphibians - I´m not sure if one is one of our European species!

Mario

OK Mario I will contact my friend for the localities.

First one seems to be an oddly coloured Hyla?

i would say that the "berus" like snake , its vipera berus hehe
