What a fantastic science project for children. I wish more classes and parents/students would do this. Thank you.

Yay! thank you. So good to know. We are so excited that we do. We only see them during our rainy season (Jan/Feb/March) and its always a happy day when we having a sighting.

Took these pics (and found this site) as part of a backyard wildlife project our child did for their science class.

You guessed correctly on the species! Thanks! I wish I were lucky enough to have arboreals in my yard :)

Done! thanks. I only guessed as to the type of salamander - do let me know what the proper name might be.

You got it! Go back into your observation (edit), scroll down to the Vouchers section, click browse to find the photo file on your computer, and then you can upload a photo.
