See, this is what I was thinking….I think ultimately given the volume of tadpoles I saw, and where they were, it was probably not salamanders, but thank you for confirming that I was not off base!
I am told all our Southern African amphibians are Anura - which is my warning to leave the Rest of Africa amphibians for the herpers to enjoy.
Was going thru unknowns from the Himalayas, and someone had a good set of photos of a pit viper. Not sure how close they got for those photos but apparently a safe enough distance to upload them later!

I gave it a shot a few times, but mostly what is coming up are eggs of some kind, so I have no idea. Back to plants for now.

I’m getting around to this on Wednesday, only to discover that all the do-able herp observations are long gone. So the ID-a-thon is succeeding that way, but I hope that next week the eager participation is taken into account so that there is more of an inexhaustible supply to work on.

I’m still working on the Unknowns. I did a few herps, but the unknowns still need help.

Pick a low growth country. That’s often where there are some easy-ish ones left.
If you like lizards, have a go at (northern) Australia!

I think that was sort of the point bc this was the week of Christmas. Also my perception (could be wrong) is that herps are easier to sort and ID than fungi and plants.
As someone who’s been working through Unknowns, I have dumped a few observations into snakes (usually, it’s snakes) the last few days.
If you are itching to keep working, dive into the Unknowns. Or, angiosperms (flowering plants), as that’s where I dump plants I honestly have no idea other than it’s flowering.
