A friend of ours, Linnea, had been asking if she could accompany us on one of our herping trips and what better excuse for us to check out our favourite herping spot again (as if we needed an excuse!) Linnea wanted to see some snakes and as we headed up the trail I assured her …
After seeing seven snakes on the last visit to our herping spot we were pretty sure we wouldn't see as much wildlife on our latest visit, but once again our spot suprised us. Not long into our walk we almost stumbled upon this Malayan Banded Wolf Snake (Lycodon subcintus), literally. It was right on the …
Its been super busy at work at the moment and finally all the work was finished and we had a long weekend coming up. It had been raining most of the week and finally there was a little bit of sun on thursday and Carly said the magical words to me "do you want to …
Our new herping spot is proving to be incredibly diverse and every time we visit it we discover something new. The snakes have definitely been the highlight for me and so far we've seen 4 new species. Here are some of my favourite snake pictures. This vibrant Red-necked Keelback (Rhabdophis subminiatus) This lovely White-spotted Slug-eating …
After last saturdays success we decided to head to our new spot again this weekend to see what suprises it had in store for us this time. Within five minutes we'd spotted our first snake.......once again it was a red-necked keelback. We suspect it was the same one that we spotted first last time as …
I don't get to go to national parks to look for snakes as often as I'd like so I'm always on the look out for good areas to go out herping (looking for reptiles and amphibians) and the other day I spotted one. It was an abandoned path through a forest which was lined with …
The dry season seems to be coming to an end here and after a few days of heavy rain the parched fields and rice paddies have been transformed into vast interconnected ponds and the roads have become wildife hotspots when the sun goes down. Insects fly around the streetlights and frogs wait patiently on the …
I never really know what i'll find when I'm out at night looking for wildlife but this night had a suprise in store for me and my partner as we walked between the flooded fields and rice paddies in our local neighbourhood. We were walking along the edge of one of the flooded fields looking …
Anyone who has lived in, visited or even just passed through Southeast Asia will have seen at least one gecko during their stay. At night, geckos will scuttle across walls and roofs near lights taking advantage of the bounty of flying insects that the lights attract. There are more than 70 species of gecko in Thailand …
Almost everday on my way to or from work I see at least one DOR (Dead on the Road) snake and one day I even had a close encounter with one which wasn't as flat as I'd thought which I found out as it struck out at me as I drove past it. Judging by the look …
