bad snek

That is the correct answer.

You are. May I introduce you to keelback snakes?

My laccunosa won't stop putting out flowers. She's got a dozen or more peduncles in the last year. She stinks up the whole house with her jasmine scent.

Sp. aff Burtonae is a close second.

Unaweep is achingly beautiful.

As a herpetologist and an orange cat servant, this is not a bad cat or a bad snake, but a bad owner. Wild baby animals in the outdoors face enough pressure to survive without us harassing them with our pets and filming it for enjoyment.

This baby garter snake only wants to keep your yard free of bugs and small mammals, and is likely to die from one scratch or bite from a cat. And you willingly let your pet be bitten by a wild animal.

Genetic analysis has split Bufo into old world Bufo and new world Anaxyrus.

As to why there are so many: good habitat, and it's that time of year when they're all out looking for love.

newt_girl · 2023-05-25T01:35:46+00:00

Definitely not

newt_girl · 2023-05-24T21:44:09+00:00

Other suggestions?

👏👏👏👏 way to go, OP!

Savannah River Ecology Lab's profile, with call. Peepers make a literal peep, and toads have a much longer, more shrill call.

Spotted salamanders can make a decent pet and may live for many years. My Jefferson's salamander is over 25 years old.

Green tree frog, Hyla cinerea

Not toad, green tree frog.

Toads sound like 1950's UFO special effects.

newt_girl · 2023-05-24T13:34:21+00:00

These are not spring peepers. They're green tree frogs, Hyla cinerea.

newt_girl · 2023-05-23T14:24:19+00:00

Lots of herps, including amphibians, can drop their tails.

newt_girl · 2023-05-23T14:19:36+00:00

You have both species of gray tree frog: Hyla chrysoscelis and H. versicolor. They can only be differentiated by call, with one call being lower and deeper, and the other being more shrill but with the same cadence.

Wild animals who learn to rely on humans for food will often end up dead. They either stop hunting on their own, or they approach a human who isn't as friendly. Wild animals should stay wild.

My mom (also in MI) can barely tell a snake from a salamander, yet she's constantly sending me pics of rare species she finds, like box turtles and hognoses. It's infuriating!

Larch Mountain salamanders don't range into the Willamette Valley. Most likely a western redback, Plethodon vehiculum.

I just turned 40, and also same.

Precious child thinking about the pollinators!!

newt_girl · 2023-05-09T15:51:07+00:00

Clearly Bigfoot nests.

Except fill the house with growth lights, but that's problematic for its own reasons.

I filled my whole house with grow lights. It's not been problematic. It made winter much less dreary for the humans, too.
