Hi Juraj,

I never noticed these and I'm so glad you posted them, thank you!!! A few of these look like what many refer to as Salamander s. "beschkovi". Particularly the mating pair. Would you agree?

Hope to hear from you!

Hi John,

I agree , nominate and beschkovi are hardly recognizable without knowing locality data.

How close is this to the Carpathian Mountains?

How close is this to the Carpathian Mountains?

Actually this is South-western part of Carpahian Mountains close to the town of Bojnice

So that would make them "beschkovi" for sure! Thank you! I would love to see habitat photos please, or photos of anything else you might have there.

Thanks,
