Lekker stuff Mr T. Where are the pics of the Platysaurus???

Your scutatus is very yellow, I have not seen them that colour before, very cool. Reminds me of fiskii, haha.

Also, the Stiletto with the white belly is pretty cool. Thanx for posting.

[Fooble]

Thanks Wes.

The Platysaurus stayed right where they were on the cliffs couldn't manage to get any decent shots unfortunately.

That stiletto had its fair way with no fewer than TWO people ha ha.

Great pics man

The area there is absolutely amazing I must say.
That Tiger is awesome, and the velvet gecko. Interesting colour on the Sheild nose and the Puffy (are these colours typical of the area?)

Stiletto's are mean little buggers. Keep the posts coming.

Some very nice finds and photos Ping! Awesome looking area too!

[PM Viper]

Awesome pics! Did you take any of the rock python ?

[Amphibian]

Ping mate I really enjoy your photography, such a cool approach to the traditional herp style photos.
But super average finds man....flip soooooo slack

[Fooble]

Thanks Chris , id like to think they are slightly off traditional.

Yeah those are all pretty stock standard finds for the area, heavy rains and bad roads we a little issue.
Good thing i didn't post any photos of the Elapsoidea

[Serpent]

Very nice T!

[Amphibian]

Only pulling your leg off matey - those finds are sick! Especially like the Shield Nose...never seen one that color before.

[Fooble]

I know Mate!

Should be back there again soon keen to find a bit more. Friend who i was with picked a File last night which proceeded to regurge a lovely Mfezi as a present great!

Fooble it appears Photobucket has limited views to your images. I don't know about anyone else but for me the images are replaced by text saying "Is this your photo? Upgrade to Plus for additional bandwidth."
Maybe move them to our gallery?

[Sico]

Yeah that shows on mine as well...

[Wolf777]

Yeah I can't see them.
