Fooble, just for the record I have opened this post multiple times and unfortunately all your images appear as X and I cannot view them. I don't know why but I always have trouble viewing pictures from certain users, Mr G, Sly and Derek Roddy being others that come to mind. I did consider commenting on your thread before just because I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into a quality post like this. I hope you don't stop posting for lack of response because yours are the kind of posts I feel are most important and relevant to the SAReptiles forum. I will say that your species list is impressive as well as how you take the time to identify and photograph the less noticed species of our indigenous fauna, I only wish I could see the dam pics on my computer!

Warren, these guys are all using Photobucket to host their pics, your network guys must be blocking photobucket, maybe see if they can open it for you.

Thanks for that Eugene. Now it makes sense because I can see these posts from my PC at home. But when I'm home I hardly spend any time on the computer as I'm too busy with my own animals! I will see if I can get photobucket unblocked at work.

Top-class post as usual, Mr Ping! Thanks for sharing:)

Very nice pics Tyrone. Some nice sightings there too, the bitis caudalis and that fine looking olive snake, the frogs steal the show though.

One more time, an AMAZING post fooble.

As I said before I'm very jealous of your lizards pictures. Those Cordylus are such beauties !!!

Your frogs picture are always so nice as well as that Amplorhinus multimaculatus is blowing my mind ! Not even speaking about the bitis caudalis and your pictures of the Bradypodion damaranum are stunning !

Once again your posts are top quality and please don't get discouraged by the silly posts, your are 100 times better and as Bushviper says most people are scared to comment because of the qualities of your post.

Anyway I'm off to bed!

Cheers fooble and keep it up !

Great list of species and great photography man!

Love the Blue-spotted Girdled Lizard and Many-spotted Snake! my two favourite finds.

Were the "unidentifiable" animals too quick or why were they not posted? You know I like a challenge.

That one Marico Gecko with the lateral striping is awesome too.

Well done!

Really seems you guys had such an awesome time. Great Images. Never quite managed to get a slug eater to live up to its Afrikaans name!
Dig your sky view of the Bluff too! I really enjoyed your post, thanks.
