Re: Herpetology B/C
How do you even ID any of these salamanders, really? This is so difficult...

Re: Herpetology B/C
I haven't seen anything definitive either way, although I rushed a bit going through salamanders.ScottMaurer19 wrote:I thought the vocalization of mud puppies was a misnomer?otterian317 wrote:Mudpuppies have 4 limbs where as sirens only have 2 front limbs. Also, mudpuppies have very large fluffy and sometimes red external gills were as sirens have smaller external gills. Also mudpuppies can vocalize.

Re: Herpetology B/C
Fellas, while we're on the subject of salamanders, does anyone have a definitive way of identifying family Salamandridae and Plethodontidae?

As for your question, in the terrestrial stages salamandridae has rough skin.
If they give u a picture of an aquatic stage salamandridae, you can often tell by looking at the tail

Re: Herpetology B/C
So I'm trying to go deeper in depth for making species cards for my binders, and I have a question.
So banded geckos are technically family Eublepharidae. Should I still refer to them as family Gekkonidae, because that's what appears on the official sheet?

Re: Herpetology B/C
Hopefully the proctor would not mess up and make a question on a family not even on the list as you propose, but if they did I would choose whichever group the specimen would best fit into, in your stated situation I would answer Gekkonidae (always go off of the list).rc2000 wrote:So I'm trying to go deeper in depth for making species cards for my binders, and I have a question.

Re: Herpetology B/C
Quick question about salamanders, I noticed a comment about mudpuppies and sirens.
Are the legs in either of these genera vestigial structures, or are they used?
