He was saying that you probably should have picked a picture that doesn't clearly show the answer to one of the questions (I assume this is what it does when it's scared, though I haven't studied anything about snakes yet).
But you wouldn’t know that if you didn’t study it. It’s in the picture but how do you know if it just does that or it’s showing the other side of the tail so that you can ID it easier?

If there's a question asking that, it becomes trivial. That's how I did relatively well on Herps this year without having studied anything yet - lots of questions where the way it was worded was an easy giveaway.

1. Correct
2. It is because diadem means headband in Greek, ophios means snake in Greek.
3. Ok fine. But more specific would be racers, king snakes.
4. Curls it's tail (like in the picture)
5. Correct

Trick question? This is an adult salamander. Unless you mean life cycle, in which case we'd see some eggs eventually.
