Fantastic links Jeroen, thanks for sharing.

The Echis looks nice, very coloured.

Eryx is a highligh there, so strange!

November seems much better to find snakes in that area than may...

No Vipers at night? Than it makes no sense!
There is nothing more exciting (and nothing more frustrating) then walking at night with flashlight in the fields or
Cruising roads for the Target.

Sorry Jurgen, I didn´t see this. I think Yes! omanensis in the road and eryx actived in the sand sound great!! I remember you that we didn´t find any snake in the roads (alive or dead), no snakes in big dunes, no snakes in coastal dunes (just a strange subadult carinatus dispersion), no snakes under stones... We found many snakes, yes, but working very very hard! During our first days of the trip, we called ourselves the "gecko trip" :lol: Probably in november we would have found more snakes! and easily! (although maybe not the rarest species)

Do you get to contact Egan? I was trying to contact him without sucess, and even Gardner told me that he has never got to contact Egan. Now I don´t need to contact him but I am surprised!! His book about Arabia snakes is simply fantastic!!

Gabri, I`m sorry, but I remember you right time wrong places!
I heard a Story that a spanish-dutch Group found in one night 14 Snakes on the road incl. Eryx and Cerastes gasperetti a week before we arrived in east Oman! ;)

And some Kids and an old Bastard spend the time in the high cold mountains and wounder them selfs that they found nothing!
