This is an unidentified species of small frog, probably in the microhylidae family. |
This frog could be the same species as the previous photograph. |
A paddy frog (Limnonectes limnocharis. These pretty little frogs are quite common |
Dunc managed to catch himself a tokay eventually. It was just slightly smaller than mine (see herptology section), but with tokay as with everything else, it not the size thats important; its what you do with it! |
There are quite a few pictures of this species on this site, however it is such a nice snake (and quite common) so here are some more |
Anothero picture of the whip snake |
This snake is one of the few snakes which has a horizontal slit pupil. That and its forward facing eyes are supposed to give it excellent depth perception |
As you can see this snake is quite gentle and not very inclined to bite |
This snake was also quite curious as it came righ out and had a good look at dunc's head torch, before pulling back when the camera flash went off (just before taking this the snake was touching dunc's head) |
The whip snake is quite well hidden when in amongst vegetation |
