Black rat snakes are docile. The thinner look-a-like, the eastern black racer, is aggressive and fast. Will strike to defend itself. Never had a rat snake try to strike at all.

I had to bring this back!

I caught this guy while out on my fishing/mushroom hunting excursion, but not before finding some nice oysters in one of my yearly patches :awesomenod:

These are from this past Monday, took a much needed personal day and took the fam to the mountains.
First time I have ever seen or touched an eastern red newt! Pretty neat holding something so deadly yet so beautiful.

Those orange newts can be crazy vibrant sometimes the ones in the mountains here are the color of traffic cones. I'll have to get a pic next time I see em.

Awesome thread...speaking of newts, saw this guy right near one of my oyster spots.



Always loved reptiles and amphibians, still have yet to see a green snake, they're in my area just yet to find one, random life goal.

Here's a Spring Salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus). Not the best shot, but interesting as it has lost it's tail, poor little critter. These things are pretty neat.

I like to take a powerful flashlight and hunt mountain streams at night when I'm camping. I see lots of fish, larval salamanders, and various Caddisfly larvae (order Trichoptera). The fish are often docile; it's possible to catch them with your hands in the smaller pools.

This thread is great!

Edit: I neglected to mention this photo was taken in September of last year.

Are those recent pics, renegade? I'm probably a month or so from my first warm spring rains, but we have a similar-looking species here in Vermont called the Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum). I'll try to snag some pics.

Interestingly, the Spotted Salamander is the only known vertebrate to photosynthesize; an algae acts as a symbiont to the eggs. Wikipedia words it better:

"Its embryos have been found to have symbiotic algae living inside them,[3] the only known example of vertebrate cells hosting an endosymbiont microbe (unless mitochondria are considered)."

Not really, I took them back in October, but since somebody woke this thread just now, I thought to share them.
They were all over the place during the autumn/winter, and mating ritual was very interesting to observe.:rasta:

That's something I certainly didn't know, very interesting. :thumbup:

I'm loving all these salamander pics. For some reason we have no native species in Australia.
They wouldn't enjoy sharing the same habitat as the platypus. I'm lucky to live within walking distance of them
