Not exactly sure how to tell P. borneensis and P. cephalum apart, if anyone has an insight please let me know.

The first amphibian visitor to my pond. About half size, so probably one of last year's hatchlings from somewhere.

A Florida Pine Snake in its sandhill home with the ever-encroaching development in the distance. This is a reality for many of the remaining intact habitats or reclaimed lands in Florida.
Desert night lizards in much of their range in the Southwestern United states prefer to live in close association with various Yucca plants including Joshua Trees but In south central Utah they are found more often in rocky habitat like this. This particular specimen was probably born last summer and was only about 1 inch long.
Barred leaf frog (Callimedusa [Phyllomedusa] tomopterna) - Cordillera Escalera Conservation Area, Peru
As always Phyllomedusa or Callimedusa tomopterna lived up to its reputation as one of the more photogenic frogs in the area. I was quite happy to capture this expression with the frog looking almost cartoon like. A relatively common frog, I would see them frequently, however getting a good photo was a different challenge as they would put their head down and close their eyes at the slightest disturbance.

We have a cabin off the grid in PA where former owners dumped their trash in the creek. Every year more glass rises to the surface for us to clean up. Some containers start to grow little terrariums inside. This glass jar had some plants growing inside, and the Red Salamander was found under some nearby trash I was picking up.
Yellow Rat Snake - Pantherophis alleghaniensis
This was one of three yellow rat snakes we found during our trip through Florida.
Interestingly, we found two snakes on different days but in almost exactly the same spot at exactly the same time of day - just chilling in the middle of a sand-filled road watching the sun go down. I believe this was most likely because the spot was great for catching the last few rays of light (and heat) before the sun set for the day.
Large adult spotted pre-storm basking on gravel road in an Atlanta prairie. Light drizzle, moisture, and low barometric systems are all harbingers of snake activity... as many roadcruising herpers can attest to.
