Without going into great detail, the area behind the back legs, where the tail joins the body, is actively producing the components of the spermatophores--gelatinous plugs topped with sperm, and "planted" in a place where the females will pick them up later to fertilize her eggs. See the plumpness? A male.<BR/><BR/>But your interest in coloring is one I also wonder about. Especially the pattern of the spots--different from one to another. It would be especially sweet to discover if I could recognize individuals from year to year as they return each spring to breed! But I think that would be a tiring experiment--counting and mapping spots!nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-48785258113785007772009-03-08T18:30:00.000-04:002009-03-08T18:30:00.000-04:00I love the sequential shots of the salamander, Nin...I love the sequential shots of the salamander, Nina!
