Re: Herpetology B/C
Regarding the University of Florida test (found in the test exchange), in station 6 there seem to be errors. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't some the of the specimens in the answer key the wrong genus?

Re: Herpetology B/C
I have seen a lot of tests this year with mis identification by the test writers, is anyone else experiencing this?Almandine wrote:Regarding the University of Florida test (found in the test exchange), in station 6 there seem to be errors.

Re: Herpetology B/C
I agree, this has been true, sometimes they will make a simple mistake on identification or confuse one genus with another genus.

Re: Herpetology B/C
Fellas, when genus Typhlomolge is searched up on the internet, the result that appears is genus Eurycea. When searched on CNAH, it is non-existent. Since the internet is of no use, does anyone have a solid way of identifying genus Typhlomolge?

Re: Herpetology B/C
Would there be any reason to include the nativity of a specimen? or are all specimens on the list native to North America (even if they're also native to other places)?

Re: Herpetology B/C
The Typhlomolge genus looks like a big albino neotenous salamander while Eurycea look pretty normal by comparison.Almandine wrote:Fellas, when genus Typhlomolge is searched up on the internet, the result that appears is genus Eurycea.

Re: Herpetology B/C
This could be somewhat helpful, but it's a lot more important to find an image of where there are in North America even if they are native to somewhere else.nuki989 wrote:Would there be any reason to include the nativity of a specimen? or are all specimens on the list native to North America (even if they're also native to other places)?
