You are right Westley. West is in the very cold atlantic ocean!

East of Port Nolloth.

Thanks Everyone.

Ruan, they prefer sandy soils but I have found them on plains covered with alluvial gravel as pictured here. They burrow in the soft sandy soils though

I photographed this boomslang from Hluhluwe. I removed it on a call out from Umhluhluwe Safaris where it was found in their workshop.

Thanks Mitton.

Fooble, I know you're vegetarian but you should lay off the mushrooms.

Prosymna janii - St Lucia - Copyright of David Maguire I found this snake crossing the road one night. Shovel snouts feed mainly on hard-shelled reptile eggs and they live underground in the soft sub-strata. https://c5.staticflickr.com/8/7398/27052473620_4b88bd1ef8_c.jpg Mozambique Shovel-Snouted Sn...

Common Barking Gecko - Ptenopus g.garrulus - West of Port Nolloth - Copyright of David Maguire Barking Geckos live in sandy habitats. The males call from their burrows from late afternoon in a chorus(tich,tich,tich) which sounds like marbles hitting one another.. https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7356/2...

Great Photos Nick!

Froot, Reed frogs and many others get quite tolerable if you take your time photographing them while calling and even call when the light shines on them.

Hi All, So I haven't been active on the forum at all in the last year or three but I do have some pictures that you all may enjoy.

Where was that skink photographed?

It looks like the Peringueys skink. It was described in 1888 and somehow just disappeared of the scene. . .

Thanks guys, it was a great trip!

Bushsnake, the Cordylus was not breyeri, but vandami And the Kinixys was lobatsiana

Yes, found during winter.. Herping in this part of the world isn't too bad in winter. .

We found it yes. Will post a habitat shot shortly..

Found a few of these while digging with my hoe - What rude looking lizards. . http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/267960_10150222224028191_652888190_7263774_6033818_n.jpg Some how I can't get the image URL on FB.
