Oriental Whip Snake
Oriental Whip Snake (Ahaetulla prasina); this species we (Dunc and me) have caught before, however it was brown and this individual was an amazing shade of green (it was also much bigger than the other one, this one was about 120-150 cm long)
Leptobranchium smithii
Litter Frog (Leptobranchium smithii); This is one of my favourite frogs, it has extremely amazing eyes
Litter Frog
the same species as before, but this time a full grown species, this individual was found in a quadrat under the leaf litter

Pied Wart Frog on Coin
Pied Wart Frog, however this time sitting on a one Baht coin (about the same size as a 5 pence coin)
Sipora Striped Skink
Sipora Striped Skink (Lipinia vittigera); a rather colourfuly patterned skink
scorpion
It is amazing what you find in the leaf litter when doing a quadrat!
big spider
This is a rather large spider I found in a tree while conducted a night survey along a river (you can see the top of a pencil in the photo to get an idea of scale)
Common Keelback
Common Keelback (Xenochrophis piscator piscator); this water snake is non-venomous, but was rather aggressive and when trying to take pictures it would try and strike
