Hey the "Blue Frog" is most likely a Moor Frog male (Rana Arvalis).

I really don't think that salamander is very big. I have seen much bigger. Anyways it really depends where these people live. IN Europe there are black salamanders like that, though i can't remember the name. As for the blue frog, either photo doctoring(im not sure) or it is a rare blue phase. Several frogs are known to have rare blue phases. INteresting frog, anyway.

If it has scales or smooth wet skin... snatch it!!!

The slamander is some type of Dusky Salamander species (Desmognathus sp.) not at all uncommon. And the Blue Frog is a color mutation caused by lack of yellow pigment. I have actually found a Blue Bullfrog before that escaped from the bucket I placed it in. This frog is most likely a Bullfrog.

Hi, the cryptozoologic salamander is a black-bellied salamander, Desmognathus quadramaculatus; the frog is a color mutation (the yellow pigment is missing) of the green frog, Rana clamitans melanota. This is a well documented phenomenon in the species. Cheers/Dick

Thanks for your expert opinion. Nice to know you use these forums. I feel like I've talked with a celebrity . . . yes, my life is that dull.

Also, i read more. Many reptiles and amphibians with green pigment such as white's tree frogs, green tree frogs, and emerald tree pythons, can have this blue thing go on with them. what happens is the yellow pigment is gone. (blue yellow=green of course) this leaves the blue behind. just thought i'd tell ya
