European salamanders?!! AWESOME!Hi you all, thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures. Many species you portraited don't even exist where I live, so I would like to return the favour with some amphibians I met in my forests, in the Northern Appenines (Italy).View attachment 3393232 This little guy is an European cave salamander, you can easily spot them in caves (you d' never say!).

Fire salamanders in different colorations, you can see them in damp places or when it rains (don't see them often where I live, they have night habits).

This isn't a licorice candy, but a stunning Lanza's alpine salamander. This species doesn't actually live where I live, but I found them in the Alps. It was a foggy day and the paths were full of them, I was so lucky!

These are alpine newts, they live in small streams and old water tanks or waterers. I know some places around here where I can go when I want to meet them.View attachment 3393250Last but not least the spectacled salamander, this one I found in my garden but it's not easy to see: it lives in a very small area and it's not so common, it was another lucky break!
Nice photos.
@Cold-Blood you're gonna want to see this.
