at least you found that one!

I've been telling him the same thing for 8 days...

[Ilian Velikov]

Seems like you had a great time! Very nice report and pictures, as well!

Sure. I'm glad I'm not 'just' a snake guy, 'cause that would make trips so much more boring and more likely to disappoint .

And what is wrong with just looking at snakes?

OK, I'm surrounded; I give up..........
I am just lousy at it and I need the Peter E.'s of this world

Although... it can make you look like this =>

[Peter Oefinger]

Great - is it possible to rent that guy? This would help me to get some snake shots, too
Jeroen: I as far as I know there is only one European species missing on your list - future will be boring for you!

Jeroen

Do we miss one European snakespecies? When do we leave?

In this picture I an still quit normal. You need to see me in winter.

@ Peter O.: I have yet to see my first living Macroprotodon cucullatus s.s. and to get to this tiny Greek islet Pori for Podarcis levendis. Then there's the debatable Hyla molleri and a certain Pelophylax kl. grafi still on the menu. Also need some decent/recent pics of Proteus, Iberolacerta horvathi, Salamandrina perspicillata, Timon (lepidus) nevadensis, Psammodromus sspp., Podarcis (erhardii) naxensis, the spotted Salamandra atra sspp., Salamandra salamandra almanzoris, an adult Salamandra (salamandra) longirostris, ... . Then there's Lissotriton (boscai) maltzani, the expected Pelodytes sp., Tarentola (mauritanica) fascicularis, etc. Vipera ursinii rakosiensis, I would also like to go find one day. I'm sure the splitters will keep me busy , which is fine for me, 'cause I don't want to stop. And there's always the rest of the world... Anyway, in contrast to (probable) appearances, it's not all just about twitching to me - my summer tour will largely be about re-enjoying places where I've been before; might sound boring to some people, but I love to get to know places better and some are just too fantastic to visit only once .

@ Peter E.: let me check my agenda for the long weekend that's coming up...
