I've always been interested in snakes but I never really made a point to go out searching for them. You see, living in Thailand means that a snake or two will inevitably show up in your house or garden at some point which was initially very exciting. After some time though, I began to realise …
It hadn't even been a week since we had relocated Bob when I received another message from my friend's husband (who had also given us Bob the Python) saying that he had another python, along with another snake that needed to be relocated. We were coming home from a shopping trip to a different province …
One thing about being snake mad is that eventually other people start to catch on. I am by no means an expert herpatologist, but at work I have become the person who is called when there's a snake or when someone has a question about a snake. More recently though, people have begun to ask …
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 …
Most people will be able to tell you that the cheetah is the fastest land animal or that Usain bolt is the fastest sprinter in the world. But, there's a smaller and faster group of creatures that are often overlooked..........the insects. Usain Bolt has a top speed of 44.2 kmph which equates to 6 body …
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 …
My recent posts have all been focused around herpatofauna (reptiles and amphibians) but that doesn't mean that we haven't been seeing anything else of note. In fact quite the opposite. On our night walks we've been finding tons of fascinating insects. So without further ado, here are some of my favourite spineless creatures we've seen …
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 …
