Those are cool pictures. Here in Tennessee I see a lot of small lizards with bright blue tails. I don't know what they are though.

Doesn't Michigan have a bunch of amphibs though?The only amphibs I see hereare oak toads,fowler's toads,american toads,cuban tree frogs,green tree frogs,and cane toads.

Green treefrogs………………………that is SOOOOOOOOO unfair!!!

In Virginia, I see american bullfrogs, green frogs, gray treefrogs, american and fowler's toads, red-spotted newts, spotted salamanders, marbled salamanders, cricket frogs, and a bunch of other amphibians I'm too lazy to identify.

I bet you see a lot of herps in Florida.

Those are some nice looking lizards. Your lucky that you live in florida where herps are everywhere. up here where i am, you need to look your butt off just to see a salamander.

That's funny! Thankfully, nobody in my family has a fear of reptiles, but I'm the only one who's really into herps…well, my sister does keeps some box turtles, so I guess I'm not the only one.

When I'm outside, sometimes I hear someone say "watch out for snakes!" My response is, "Of course I will!" Somehow I really don't think we are talking about the same thing.

Lol,my dad hates the fact that Florida has alot of snakes and I am the only one in the family that doesn't totally freak when snakes come.(My family has one or both of these two reactions;they get scared silly or get so excited a snake is on our property.)

We have five-lined skinks and occasionally broad-headed skinks - I wish we had more broad-heads here, they are a lot more common further south. Supposedly, we also have little brown skinks, coal skinks, and six-lined racerunners, but I've never seen them.

I have seen eastern fence lizards - those lizards are have a good name, I see them all the time on fence posts! And of course I can't resist taking pictures.

I've heard that out of all the states in the US, Virginia has the least amount of snakes. But here I go complaining again! I see plenty of herps here - as a matter of fact, I just saw a red-orange hognose a few hours ago (and not to mention the five-lined skinks that live on the deck that I see regularly, and the fence lizards that are wonderful "picture lizards"…).

Oh dear, sometimes I complain too much!

Ooh! I love skinks! I had a ground skink and I called it Garu Chura.(Don't ask what that means,it some thing my friend made up. )I had to give him away though,which stank,but he was a good pet for the short time I had him.

Nice pics. I wish we had anoles here.

I probably shouldn't be complaining though. We have skinks, skinks, skinks, skinks, and more skinks. And I like skinks!

A gorgeaus summer day could only be paired with herping.I explored around my yard.All I had was my camera,my eye for hiding animals,and a hope they wouldn't freak and run.I was outside for about and hour and a half and let me tell you I got a lot of dud pics.Only 5 pictures actually turned out good enough to be posted.

This little fella here was sitting in my neighbor's hose and that little dude sat still for quite a few pictures before leaving to do some lizard things.Only two though,were RC worthy.

This one is my favorite,I just love that it looks so professional.The brown anole is a little tricky to see on my tree,but that's the awesome part of it in my opinion.
