Found two along this stretch of dirt road. This one was crossing at about 7:30pm and around 77° F.
Kew, North Caicos. Had recently eaten something soft-bodied plus three chicken eggs.
This blind salamander was collected in a bottle trap placed in a well near Comal Springs. I previously identified it as E. rathbuni during a fit of "just give it a name" but it represents a Comal endemic, closely related to -but distinctive from- the Texas blind salamander found in San Marcos.
I found this individual walking up a stream wearing sandals. The channel turned cold and beneath the very first rock I flipped, was this salamander. It was roughly two inches long and had feathery gills consistent with salamanders of this genus. I did not handle the individual on the chance that it could be a listed species. Upon conferring with several biologists, we decided to return to the site the next day to hopefully find this salamander or another one like it. We failed to do so and subsequent attempts to find another salamander have also failed.
Thanks to Dr. Brad Hollingsworth for having me on this trip and providing locality data.
Found shortly after it's Description; Lifer.
I found two (likely male) Arboreal Salamanders fighting to the death after a night of rain.
This Haitian Big-scaled geckolet was my most expressive and enjoyable subjects to photograph.

~7100' elevation. Great Basin Rattlesnakes engaged in "combat dance". These were the 2 biggest & most faded rattlesnakes we have seen at this location.
The bigger snake with the scar on his back was the victor, the other snake slithered away when they were done. The snake with the scar on his back spent almost a week in the rocks with a much smaller rattlesnake, most likely the female. :-)
This female adder was basking in scattered sunshine on a heath.
Tantilla cucullata predating scolopendra heros
Near a seep on the west side of the rail trail just off the dirt trail in the moss.
A typical Payne's Prairie eastern king snake. They were common 50 years ago, when the prairie had huge numbers of water loving snakes. Over a thousand snakes (mostly banded water snakes and Florida green water snakes) were often run over and killed on a given night in the summertime on the two major highways that cross the basin, and eventually the snake populations crashed. Now, there are far fewer water snakes and perhaps no king snakes at all.
Jemez Mountains Salamander Plethodon neomexicanus
This individual was in
hammock habitat coiled beneath a rotting board
in moist, dark soil.
Partially regurgitated by a black kingsnake just before it died after being struck by a vehicle.
Three shots include: (1) a younger larvae, (2) a larvae at metamorphosis, and (3) a metamorphosed adult. Metamorphosed adults are relatively uncommon in the population. The cave is managed by the Nature Conservancy and these images were taken during a survey of the salamander population. The species is so far recognized as a single site endemic.
Albino salamander presumed to be Aneides flavipunctatus. Found by UC Berkeley group
Juvenile Aneides flavipunctatus with no dark pigments, found with UC Berkeley Herpetology course.
This endemic sub-species of newt was observed during the day in the waters of Crater Lake National Park as part of an Amphibian Bio Blitz to survey the region of its herpetofauna.

In caves, on the walking trail at the under ground partly flooded cave
Found hunting in the surf debris. May have lost tail? Reddit users suggested the species...
I found this snake back in 2008. If I only knew then how awesome this find was. My memory of location was foggy but I think I have it narrowed down pretty good. I am 100% certain of location within 15 miles or so and 75% to location within a mile or so.

This is the first known specimen of ridgenose rattlesnake from the Peloncillo Mtns. This snake was given to me by NM Game and Fish, as I was studying obscurus on a grant from them at the time. This was a gravid female that delivered six offspring some months after capture.
From our car I counted 11 individuals on the road between the Itampolo village and the Linta River
