Since moving to Virginia, I must say that something I miss about Georgia is that no matter the season, there are always plenty of cool amphibians to be found. With mild temperatures and often plenty of rain, even the Piedmont and mountains of North Georgia are alive with activity. Here is a selection of some of those species that seem to become abundant as temps begin to drop.

1-3: Webster’s Salamander (Plethodon websteri)
4: Upland Chorus Frog (Pseudacris feriarum)
5: Marbled Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum)
6: Four-toed Salamander (Hemidactylium scutatum)
7-8: Spring Salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus)
9: Southern Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon serratus)
10: Mole Salamander (Ambystoma talpoideum)
11: Southern Zig-zag Salamander (Plethodon ventralis)

Finally decided to post again after quite the hiatus. Been busy with PhD duties and of course, looking for neat animals here and there as well. For my first post back, I’ll pick up right where I started, traveling across Colombia with .h in 2024. While not the most diverse trip to the Neotropics I’ve been on, it certainly had some remarkable highlights, and from Los Llanos to the Pacific Chocó, we managed to turn up some incredible snakes. From the iconic to the obscure, there is a snake in the tropics that will astonish everyone: beauty, size, rarity, or just being plain weird.

1 and 2: Green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus)
3: Banded Cat-eyed Snake (Leptodeira ashmeadii)
4: Fer-de-Lance (Bothrops asper)
5: Boddaert’s Tropical Racer (Mastigodryas boddaerti)
6-7: Common Mussurana (Clelia clelia)
8: Ornate Cat-eyed Snake (Leptodeira ornata)
9: Ringed Tree Boa (Corallus annulatus)
10: Blunt-headed Tree Snake (Imantodes cenchoa)
11: Cope’s Vine Snake (Oxybelis brevirostris)
12: Rough Coffee Snake (Nothopsis rugosus)
