Reptile & Amphibian Forums

hello all.
i was out between classes at sierra college around the nature trail. damp ground rotting leaves and logs ... why wouldnt i go looking for amphibies. well i lifted a log and found a hatchling/juvi northern alligator lizard. i freaked out at first b/c i was hoping by some twist of fate i would find a salamander(i dont normally see them while in the field at all)and i thout it was one when my rational mind took over i was still over joyed to find an alligator lizard especially in late october.
anyways i just wanted to share this with yall. catch ya l8er and happy herpin.

Hey bud, it's always nice to find something! I was fishing in the rain this week at a local pond and found a sub-adult female side-blotched lizard under a piece of soaking wet cardboard, she was so cold temp49* she could barely move. I picked her up and now she lives in club med (at least 'till spring)w/ an unlimited supply of insect dinners! keep searching... Peace,jd

hello again.
i went to nimbus later in the evening and had hoped to find just about anything. my girlfriend and i found a flock of wild turkey, larval stage millipedes, a 3 inch millipede, a tree frog, 2 western fence lizards one with a very flamboyant aqua teal belly that i have never seen before, the sheddings of a northern pacific rattlesnake 4 feet in length, and a juvinile northern pacific with two buttons on its rattle. october is great, i am so jazzed up for this comming spring !!!
