This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Found this salamander on my back patio in the pouring rain.

I think a lot of amphibians are seen as cute because of their smooth, rounded features. There are some gnarly looking toads out there that probably don’t get the same love.

I enjoy seeing them all, but I also grew up in Florida where they were everywhere. Plus, they're great for pest control, so I've always enjoyed having them around for that.

I’m in PA, so this is actually a pretty rare sight for me.
