Re: Can You ID the Native U.S. Herps?
Amphibians have never been my strong point.
The only other thing I thought #4 would be was A.talpoideum
and the snake R.septemvittata?

The snake is indeed a queen snake.
#4 is a newly metamorphed marbled salamander. Too difficult to ID especially because there is nothing to use as a size reference. The salamander is about 1" long in total length.
Hint: Key id characteristics of salamander #1 include a white venter with black dots, the constriction around the base of the tail and only 4 toes on the hind foot instead of the usual 5.

Re: Can You ID the Native U.S. Herps?
The first queen snake I caught was fearless...she didn't even try to get away when I found her and after I picked her up she tried to eat my finger--not defensive, but actually wanted to eat my finger. She would take earthworms, minnows and anything else I offered right from my hand. This poor snake was way over fed for about a month in my care-I was about 10 years old and couldn't stop myself. lol.
Thanks for sharing the nice photos and the memory trip from 3 decades ago.

Re: Can You ID the Native U.S. Herps?
Your images wont show up for me... and I just realized this is almost a year old. Though images are a consistent problem on this board.

Re: Can You ID the Native U.S. Herps?
it has nothing to do with the board, people often delete, rename, or move their images within their photo hosts, breaking the link.
happens on each forum I visit
