The baby lizards look like Northern curly-tailed lizards to me.

Re: ID needed please
I'm going to disagree about that toad. I didn't think marinus had knobs like that one does. Looks to me like a regular old Southern, terrestris.
Everything else, I accept.

Tamara and Tim- cane toads don't have huge cranial crests like that do they?

Re: ID needed please
Like Berkeley said, it's a B. terrestris - they grow them real big in and around some of the pine rocklands in ENP and Big Cypress.
Re: ID needed please
I second that. When I was in Australia I saw more than enough cane toads in NT and QLD to ingrain that species into my head haha. During a trip to Wakulla county FL in August 2013, at first I thought I saw a cane toad but once I caught the giant amphibian, I realized that it was just an enormous Anaxyrus terrestris about the size of a baseball. I remember reading that A. terrestris can live as old as 30 years. That coupled with an area rich in insects to feed upon can make some darn big A. terrestris. I had some pictures on my old laptop before it broke in half, I'll see if I can't find a way to get them off it somehow and onto my new computer.Josh Holbrook wrote:Like Berkeley said, it's a B. terrestris - they grow them real big in and around some of the pine rocklands in ENP and Big Cypress.

Re: ID needed please
I get IDs wrong frequently, so I have no problem backing off of my initial ID of cane toad. Berkely, Josh, and Simus, thank you for the clarification.

Re: ID needed please
Your two most recent pics.
Looks like another southern toad. It at least is not an oak toad.
The snake is a brown water snake (Nerodia taxispilota)

Re: ID needed please
ya ya y'all are right, it's a southern toad. Didn't really look close, it just looked really big and it was SoFlo. Hardly see anything but cane toads down there.

Re: ID needed please
Yep. That color is typical when young (stonger oranges) but usually fades to golds when they age. Not always though, of course.

Those look like curly tails to me
Re: ID needed please
Your turtles look like Florida red-belly (P. nelsoni) but its hard telling. Red-bellies have a cusp on their lips while pen. cooters do not. They are very similar animals and I've even heard of them hybridizing in places in S. Florida.
Re: ID needed please
Sorry about giving basic ID advice in another language. I'm still simmering about the unusual infighting involving me.
