The East Rand has had some good rains lately. These are some of the herps that we have found for the season so far.
Rhombic Egg-eater (Dasypeltis scabra)
This first one had a nice colour to it
Cross-Marked Grass Snake (Psammophis crucifer)
Common Brown Water Snake (Lycodonomorphus rufulus)
Herald Snake (Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia)
It just wouldn't be a day out without finding these
Transvaal Girdled Lizard (Cordylus vittifer)
Rhombic Skaapsteker (Psammophylax rombeatus rombeatus)
These were incredibly common. You can literally find several under one rock.
Wahlberg's Snake-eyed Skink (Afroablepharus wahlbergii)
Black-headed Centipede-eater (Aparallactus capensis)
Wish there were more of these to control the vast amount of centipedes that we saw. (Not a fan of Centipedes)
Thin-tailed Legless Skink (Acontias gracilicauda) ID Confirm please
Have been trying to find the Highveld Garter Snake but no luck yet. Hopefully this season.
