A larval Spring Salamander from north Georgia. These salamanders have a long larval period, and approach adult size before metamorphosing into their terrestrial form.

An adult Spring Salamander along with habitat from the Georgia Piedmont. One of my favorite species to search for when it’s not warm enough for snakes to be out.

The elegant Brown Watersnake, usually a reliable late winter find in a lot of their range. This was one of many I saw on a mild January day in Georgia.

Some Eastern Tiger Salamander variation from a rainy late winter night in north Georgia. First two are males, last is a gravid female.

A few Eastern Diamondbacks Rattlesnakes found under warm metal on a cool Winter day in south Georgia.

Georgia right now…..just wow.

An interesting observation from late winter. This stretch of river floodplain is particularly prone to produce Rough Green Snakes during periods of mild weather. This one was coincidentally (or not?) sharing a tire with a clutch of (Opheodrys-sized) eggs from last year.
