Nice post. I can't recall ever seeing a tick on an anole, but it seems like I've never found a glass lizard without one. I really like that shot of the peeper.

Josh - I know you are just recently expanding your knowledge outside of snakes but turtles have shells. That spotted animal, kind sir, is a salamander.

For sake of hilarity, I'm not going to edit my previous post. My mind said "Salamander," but evidently I have Clemmys on the brain. I'll have you know I went 'mandering in SC this past weekend. Turned up 5 species while roadcruising. :beer: I told Marisa to make sure she tries some of that root beer when she comes up.

I believe that road is still in Aiken Co., but I could be wrong.

I agree that spotted is beautiful. They are much better looking than the ones I would find up north, the orange is very striking. All I had up in NY were pure yellow spots. I wish I was in range of green trees, well anything more than just greys haha.
