Neon Corydoras

Was not listed with a name and I cannot recall them but think they hail from Peru?!

Yemens Chameleon Male

Nice these but sizeable when adult, well the males are anywhooo, lol.

Jackson's Chameleons - Chameleo jacksonii

Spotted these today while out, not seen often enough and an old favourite of mine.

Love Jackson's Chameleons, Chameleo jacksonii, but high humidity needed especially for young chameleons where it is imperative!

These are a breeding pair, was not for sale before you think of asking?! LMAO!

Hmm might go back in future see if he has bred them and get him to earmark me some youngsters?!

Neotenic Alpine Newt Messotriton alpestris

A life long favourite, though not in this odd and rare form, is the Alpine Newt.

This one, like the Axolotl, stays in larval form and keeps the gills and this particular indivudual escaped and gre to adulthood in my pond many years ago, though technically it was my grandmothers pond, despite the fact I built it?!

LMAO!

Marbled Newt - Triturus marmoratus

Another beauty and comes in different forms, different sizes and even different amounts as well as shades of green, around 5 types I have seen over the years...

The Marbled Newt ... Triturus marmoratus.

Closely related to the British Crested Newts

Salamandra salamandra gallaica

From Western Spain and most of Portugal is Salamandra salamandra gallaica.

These have a lot of wine red colours, washed out yellow and even lichen like green.

Some individuals can be quite stunning!

Until Picasa decides to work properly and Blogger decides to work properly I have no choice but to use only links to FLICKR?! NUMB-NUTS!!

Salamandra salamandra gigliolii

Well here is something I previously owned...

The Italian Fire Salamander from Calabria in Southern Italy

Salamandra salamandra gigliolii and better to keep these outside if you are fortunate enough to find any... inside you would need a fan and some fresh outside air being blown and.

A bit fussy about how they are kept and can acquire skin conditions that if their housings are not remedied they will eventually die.

If you see black marks appear inside the Orange colouring then place them in open container outside but not in sunlight in summer obviously, somewhere very shaded.

Lampropeltis annulata - Mexican Kingsnake

And now for something completely ... interesting!

An old favourite of mine this one...

The Mexican King Snake that is not a Milk Snake...technically?!

Oops wont upload photo and refuses to see the CORRECT LINK?!?! GRRR

Be back to add this one!!

Right! Sorry but the Google Masters are obviously inept!

I have run out of space on here for pictures?!?!

Blooger REFUSES point blank to see images from a FLICKR URL and as for PICASA ... well that is refusing to upload an album or individual pictures so presently I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.

SORRY GOOGLE BUT YOUR SOFTWARE AND INTERFACES ARE MORE HASSLE THEN THEY ARE WORTH!!!

So here is a link to Flickr and Picasa can go fly a kite!

CALIFORNIAN KINGSNAKES - Canary and Caramel?!

As many a Californian Kingsnake as I have seen over the years they are one of those rare things I always have a soft spot got.

I also am not into the albino nor colour forms being produced in so many species of snakes ... BUT ... I must say that while some colours produced are hardly worth it there is the small amount that are quite striking.

This, it turns out, only applies to ONE of the two Californian Kingsnakes in the picture below and this is a real surprise to me as for all the Callies I have seen I have never seen one with the dark colours as light and caramel like as the one in the upper portion of this photo!

Also in the picture, as you can or will see, is a very yellow form that was very pretty to look at and both these snakes were VERY adult size! Not young adults in other words!

Cannot remember the latin other then the genus of Triangulum or at least it was. Probably something really stupid that I cannot remember it like californiense. Remembering guttulatus, or gutattus (which does mean spotted), but think that was a Florida or Speckled or maybe another animal entirely?!
