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 …
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 …
So I had just finished writing my post Wildlife by Torchlight about how lucky I've been to see so much cool wildlife in my garden and my head was a little fuzzy from staring at a computer screen for a while. I decided I'd go for a quick stroll around my garden to see if I could …
Let me introduce you to the red-necked Keelback (Rhabdophis subminiatus), a beautiful snake that has the distinction of being one of only a handful of snakes (17) in the world that are known to posses both venom and poison, and it can be found here in Thailand. When talking about snakes many people confuse the terms …
Most of my posts as of late have been focused on butterflies, but in my defense they are the animal that is out the most/the ones we see the most at the moment. This doesn't mean that we're not on the look out for other animals and we've been lucky these past couple of weekends …
Another sunny weekend and another national park to explore. This time we headed to Ton Prai Waterfall a little further afield than we usually go but well worth the trip.The park was beautiful and has definitely taken a spot in my top 5 favourites here in Phang-nga province. We hadn't even entered the car park …
