A Herpetological Wedding Party

Illustrations for the different tables at Gareth and Zoe's wedding in Oregon -- representing the local reptiles and amphibians.

Coastal Giant Salamander (the larval stage especially loves champagne)

Western Painted Turtle (wise, but a monster on the dance floor)

Western Fence Lizard (always sophisticated, if a little bit of a lush)

Common Garter Snake (with decidedly uncommon fashion sense, thank you very much)

Northwestern Salamander (knows how to boogie all night long)

Pacific Tree Frog (a flapper and a hopper, and how!)


Rough-Skinned Newt (you want to know about life?  oh, he can tell you about life)

Western Toad (to eat the cake, or not to eat the cake. . .  the eternal question)

Foothill Yellow-Legged Frog (she's just so chuffed to see everyone here so happy)
