Hi!
I'm Bastian, biologist, herper and nature photographer from germany. My girlfriend and I are heading for a trip to Andalusia-Spain for the first time on tuesday and I'm already very excited to do some nice herping trips down there!!

Maybe there is anyone here, who could help me out with some good spots!?

I would be the happiest man, to see Vipera latastei, Malpolon monspessulanus, Blanus cinereus, Ch. chamaeleon, and Hemorrhois hippocrepis

But I'm happy about each species I see anyway

I hope someone can give me some advice, thanks and
Greetings

Bastian

I saw Hemorrhois hippocrepis near river in Fuengirola.
Malpolon monspessulanus was seen by me on beach with shrubs near Fuengirola.

Thank you very much Michal!:)
We will come along Feuengirola on our last days. I will keep you updated if I found anything!

You shouldn't post spots here, do it in pm.

Yes, I agree on that! Please in pm everyone, I forgot to mention that!

I checked conservation status of these snakes and I thought that if they are LC then there should be no problem. But ok I will not do it again.

No one else who can help?
Our main stays are in Nigüelas, El Chorro and Barbate. We are staying from 19. of September til 1. of october.

Or maybe there is someone here from nearby who would like to go for a little herping tour together might be fun!! We have a car, so we are mobil and not bound to any location.

Thanks for any help,
Greets

Why don't you edit quotation of me? I thought you want the data to be confidential.

Didn't noticed you changed it, happy now? It is not me wanting it, it is just in the forums rules and you should know that as much as you post.
To Bastian: you could imagine that nobody will give you spots for species they worked hard for. You are a stranger and might catch them or something else (no insinuation). So do research by your own. There are a lot of papers and reports about regions in Andalusia with rich herpetofauna. I am pretty sure if you know what you do and with some hard work you will find at least something.
