Rainforest trip,(plentypics)
Well I'm back from my lil' adventure up north to the
rainforest, I must say I'm a bit dissapointed.In four nights
and five days I only saw four snakes, two of those were roadkill.! 
One good size carpet 6-7ft(roadkill), one Rough-scaled snake Tropidechis carinatus (roadkill),one common tree snake (not the blue),and the tail of one I didn't get a good enough look at to I.D.
I did see these two guys however.
Also saw heaps of water dragons but they are too darn quick and wily for me to get a pic of.
Don't understand the lack of snakes, the forest was absolutely crawling with fuzzy snake food.
A case of better luck next time I guess.??
Anyway heres some shots of the country I was travelling through.
P.S. I'll get that old pic of a blue tree snake up A.S.A.P. for you Lady D.![/img] |

Whoa Ben, lovely pix! Thanks for sharing! That's a leaf-tailed gecko, is it? And what kind of monitor? Oh, and cute fuzzies!

Thanks Kohm, yep it's a Leaf-tailed Gek,(Saltuarius cornutus) first one I've seen so I was pretty excited about that, I was surprised at how big they are.Also my first sighting of that monitor species
but I thought I'd leave it to you guys to try and guess what it is!!

Hey Sav, I flew over what I guess must be 'The Everglades' on the
way into Miami. That was a pretty impressive expanse of swampland!
The bayuo(sp?),if thats what you call it, of the U.S. has always intested me.
Thanks Ted, and don't I know it!  |

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Now Ben, that is what happens when you go North rather than West
Great shots none the less. Prolly ani-mules that I will never get to see in the wild. Great stuff. |
