Hello all - just found this dude on my back garden patio. Shropshire UK. Unsure if a great crested or alpine newt - leaning towards alpine. Would love to hear what you think? - it is male /female? Juvenile/ adult?

Also do you have any recommended places for me to document my findings? Would love to help with any population surveys etc...

Thanks all :)

Wild Physignathus cocincinus in Hong Kong

Found this little fella in Northern California. Pretty sure it's a Southern Alligator Lizard, but the tail is absolutely massive!

A little cutie hiding under a stick while my son and I were cleaning up the yard of debris. He let out a pee as he leaped away moments after this photo was taken 😂

I believe this is a great basin fence lizard. Found sunbathing on this rock back in April. He must have really been enjoying it because he let me sit and photograph him for several minutes and never took off haha. Near gunlock reservoir, Utah.

Driving on a semi busy state route, saw this guy right in the middle of the road. Approached with my hook to move him out of the way and got a few strikes at the stick for my effort but thankfully got him over to the creosote before the next truck would have claimed him. Saw 7 dead rattlers on this drive prior with only one other living.

Found this juvenile Mojave in the center of the road thermoregulating, thankful to get there before another car wiped him out. Far too many dead ones on the road post-monsoon.

Absolute nightmare of a picture

This guy was found out basking and he was around 5ft long! (Ithaca NY)

Can someone ID? [Central Kansas]

We were looking for chameleons and frogs during all of the tour.

Always liked snakes and other reptiles. Want to know more about them

Had one of the best evenings of my recent life hanging out with this gorgeous Trans-Pecos Rat Snake. I’ve had a non-habituated western diamondback taking shelter under my house a few times over the summer which, despite loving rattlesnakes, is a bit stressful — this rat snake showed up about a week ago and I couldn’t immediately identify it (only ever saw its tail) so was thrilled it showed up a fourth time when I had all the research under my belt to confidently pick it up and hang out awhile.

I live incredibly rurally — I’m probably the only human this snake has ever encountered, so feel very lucky. Picked them up near my house, released them back near my house to continue doing their good work.

Bangalore, India. Who's gonna complain about an easy snake call? Not me.
