Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

New Here, salamander identification question (pic)
Hey everyone,
I joined the site because I am interested in nature and wildlife in general. Also, I found a salamander in my garden and was curious about verifying the species. I think it is most likely the 4-toed salamander because the salamander I caught did have 4 toes! I'm also interested to know how it got into the rock bed in my garden. I live in central NJ in a suburb and there is no nearby waterbodies. The closest creek is prob an 1/8 mile away or a little more over an uneven landscape. It has been really wet for the past month so it is not implausible that the salamander made its way over the distance, but who knows if it came from that creek anyway. I don't know of any standing or seasonal pools either unless there is serious flooding. I have attached a pic what do you guys think? The other thing is the rocks I found him walking through is home to colonies of pill bugs and other insects so I'm sure he is doing well as far as food source goes. I did let him go after I snapped a few pics.

that would be a slimy salamander (P. glutinosus). They are relatively easy to care for.

That is the "leadback" phase of the red back salamander, plethodon cinereus.
