Photographic Voucher
When possible, take at least one or more photographs to verify each new species you discover. Some reptiles and amphibians are most easily identified from specific characteristics of their body color and pattern, including the belly. Head photos are often helpful in having identifying features. Some species vary in appearance depending on whether they are a juvenile or an adult male or female.
