Tenerife 17-25 March 2013

Hi,

in spring I made a trip to the beautiful island of Tenerife with my family. We spent 8 nice days, hiking, relaxing... and searching for reptiles
We found all the endemic reptiles except the very rare Gallotia intermedia.
Tarentola and Gallotia galloti were easily found, Chalcides we found at only two places.
Also some introduced water frogs (Pelophylax spec.)
Here are some impressions :
Have fun !
