Amphibians and Reptiles

[Deeisenberg]

well, this is probably the easiest event. but, does anyone know good online practice tests..............

There are no easy events, if it is easy for your it is easy for everyone else. Also I would have to say that if you are going to call some events easy and others hard, picture this, and write it do it are much easier. Also if you get it right It's about time is pretty easy (at least the building part).

Also while I personally am a fan of the audubon, you should use your region's petersons and then mark it up like crazy, for the simple reason that if it is in the rules they might take questions from it.

As for sources, use anything that you can find, and I mean anything (unless it looks like bull)
Also don't listen to your teachers, Wikipedia = Love

How do you identify a salamander between a newt???? (HELP!!!)
A sheep frog and a narrow mouth toad are both the same things, right????
(I'm taking this event up this year cuz last yrs' person left. i m a rookie...)
Any other identifying tips between amphibians???

Newts have rough, dry skin. Most salamanders have slimy, mucous-y skin.

Sheep frogs and narrow mouth toads are the same.

Newts only have dry skin in the eft stage, and narrowmouth toads and sheep frogs are not the same.

Aha, after checking the list I see that while sheep frogs (Hypopachus) and narrowmouth toads (Gastrophyrne) are not the same, you don't need to know the difference - i.e., they are the same for purposes of this event.

This may be repeated through this thread but, does anyone have any good WEBSITEs that could provide information for this event? I tried making a thread on Herpolotolgy but, nobody answered so I figured amphibians and reptiles is like the same thing. --Thanks
