i see so i assume u were in the top 6? u guys had a lot more competing teams in ur region

p.s. sorry 4 getting off the actual event topic (amphibians and reptiles) though actually now that i think about it i do have an actual question: what exactly is the eft stage in newts and is that the one that some of them skip or is that another stage? that was kinda one of the questions on the test i had and i wasn't sure

[Flavorflav]

1. Yes
2. the eft stage is a juvenile terrestrial stage that occurs in newts which comes between the aquatic nymph stage and the (generally aquatic) reproductive adult stage.

does anybody have any division B tests...........

[Deeisenberg]

There is no difference between a B division Amphibians and Reptiles test and a C division Herpetology test. They are the same event. Sometimes they might have separate tests, usually making the C division test more difficult, but this doesn't really matter. Many C division tests should be easy for any division (including last years nationals test), and if you are in B or C division, you shouldn't not take a test because it is for the other division.

Ya you're right.

i got the diet, special features, picture, habitat, size, and anything else that seemed important. I did it very generally for the genus, then said what distinguishes different species from others in that genus.

Would anyone be up for a test swap? You can PM me if you like.

(sorry, i just had to do that. i think the difference has to do with number of toes on its feet, not sure)
