I've been in southern Turkey for the last 10 days (mainly for ornithology) and beside observing birds I had some tome to search for herps. Here's some pictures (with some questions concerning species identity - I still don't have the turkey book....).

Hyla savignii - Sehit (south of Sanliurfa) - there were thousands of them....

Eirenis:
Only one is possible - by distribution: Eirenis modestus semimaculatus
Hemorrhois:
both are possible, but approx. 900 asl points more to nummifer in the southern Taurus slopes.
