Hi everybody,

Cool islands and strange critters - Hope you enjoy...

And here's the fast track for the snake guys:

nice pictures, Peter!
love the strange erhardii from Astypalaia ;)
due to different haplotype (and there are some morphological differences?), we might honor Werner with a new ssp.!? :?

Respect!! What a fantastic trip result.
And I really like how you point out your results in comparable pictures -
for sure something to tell about in Gersfeld.
BTW: The juvenile 4-liner looks great and the green toad shot is excellent!

Good idea, Mario :) ...but maybe syrinae is the valid name?

Thomas: in this case picture comparision was somehow hard: allthough they look so different, I didn't find a single diagnostic character :(
