Herp Update: Quick reference photos, fundraiser – January 25, 2022

New Feature on our VtHerpAtlas website!

Herpers, last year Kate Kelly added a new feature to our website. She added separate quick-reference photo guides for adult snakes, juvenile snakes, turtles, salamanders, and frogs.

Hopefully these will help report-contributors save time when they find a species that they are not familiar with.  Check them out at our website at https://www.vtherpatlas.org/herp-species-in-vermont/quick-photo-reference/.  I have attached a screen shot of her quick-reference photo guide to VT salamanders below.
