Well as some of you may know, my wife and I have relocated to the UK. It was a move that I was looking forward to, but also fearing, as I knew I wouldn't be having any herping adventures for a while. This in mind, I made it my task to make the most of …
Living in Thailand I thought I'd learnt to expect the unexpected but a couple of days ago I had an unexpected but welcome suprise travelling home at night. We had run out of milk so jumped in the car and headed for the nearest 7-11 (a 5 min drive from our house). Whenever I drive …
One of the best things about being in Phang Nga province in Thailand, apart from the beautiful beaches, is the amount of national parks and wild areas to explore. Out of all of these, Sri Phang-Nga National Park was absolutely one of my favourite places to visit, and here's why: The amazing thing about this …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
