trip to Valencia area

[Peter Oefinger]

Happy new year everybody! Just back from a X-Mas trip to Valencia. Primarily it was a family & friends holiday but I had some time to search for reptiles - a real heart-warmer in this grey season.

Psammodromus algirus with amazing ocellus

Blanus cinereus

Coronella girondica

Psammodromus edwardsianus

eagle sp.?

sun&fog

South of Valencia, Podarcis liolepis looks green

Another green liolepis

More green...

...can't get enough of them

and another one

a nosy female

Podarcis hispanicus sensu stricto

Timon lepidus, subadult

Tarentola mauritanica, sunbasking

X-Mas herping

Acanthodactylus erythrurus - I only saw this single specimen

relaxed Timon

Hemorrhois hippocrepis

Valencia city lizard...

A couple of Podarcis liolepis

In Valencia, liolepis is not green

Green liolepis are very nice Peter, great way to spend/avoid christmas

Very nice Peter, some beautiful liolepis, I especially like the ones from Valencia.
