Re: Help with ID - Yucatan, Mexico

Check out Tlalocohyla loquax for 2 and 3 - I'm not positive... but I think it fits.

#7 is definitely Triprion petasatus .

Re: Down under in the last millenium

Nice photos! Wish I got to see those critters in person.
At first glance, your first three "Diplodactylus tesselatus" are actually Strophurus intermedius, and your unknown geckos A and B are Diplodactylus tesselatus.

Re: 12 Months In California: UPDATED (All herps)

Matt,
That was fantastic! Is it possible that the third Phyllomedusa bicolor is P. vaillanti? Just a gut feeling. The P. bicolor, Bufo margaritifera or Bolitoglossa would have made the trip for me.

Hey Monklet,
It is a division, although not all animals I have seen from this local have it.... and if I remember correctly right now, a divided anal plate is not the end-all-be-all...

Re: Unusual lyre
