Herping in Southwestern Utah

Post by Herpetologist115 »

Went on an awesome herping trip in southern Utah!

Desert Spiny Lizard

A little help with Identification?

Woodhouse Toads

Is this also a woodhouse toad? Its pupils are horizontal so it is not a spadefoot, though it did have a spade like tubericle on the foot.

It was an awesome trip, but I was surprised to not see any snakes even during the day.

small lizard is a baby desert spiny. the toad with the spade is likely the arizona toad, a. microscaphus. in what general area did you see the treefrogs?

Nice finds. Too bad you didn't see any snakes.
Last toad is likely an Arizona as was stated.
Note they do hybridize with Woodhouse toads down there so you can find some very interesting animals.
