Salamandra salamandra gigliolii

Typical race native to E Alps, more spotted than with long yellow stripes, thus nominative subsp. salamandra. Rather common in natural ravines here, most active at wet conditions, they need clean rivulets to grow up. The more striped subs. terrestris occurs further to the W, still i have seen a so-looking individual one time at Badlgraben - no picture, sorry.

The last, unusually mild winter, fire salamander were active since too warm temperature seems to have prevented their hibernation. As it seems now, they were not affected by that, probably they could find active earthworms, or didn't loose too much energy through activity?
