Red Eft, the terrestrial stage of the Red-spotted Newt. A beautiful photo.

Thanks Don. I just learned my new thing for the day. I didn't know that states had "state amphibians". I knew about state birds, trees etc.., but not amphibians.

Love the color of these little guys. Saw one that was mostly brown the other day.  |

Possibly. They are all over this time of year, so who knows.

They are all over this time of year, so who knows. I have always wondered if they were commonly seen in the SE USA. Not out here this far west, so I have never even seen one in the wild. But one of these days, I will take a trip to FL. Perhaps in my RV. -Don- Cold Springs Valley, NV |

We have even seen them in the winter. They are usually brown, and a little scrawny that time if year though. The five-lined skinks are popular here too. I like the juvenile ones best with the blue tails.

The young ones, which are the most seen, have very bright blue tails. To the west, we have the Gilbert's Skink, with the bright pink tail. The brightness of the colors fad a bit with age.

I believe these are 5 lined skinks? Yep. And they look like they are trying to mate. The male is on top, shown by the red head during the mating season, which is around May and June. -Don- Reno, NV |
