For your reports/images, made outside Europe and the "Mediterranean" countries. Not to be too narrow minded and limited to our European/Mediterranean herps.

Rainy days here in Brisbane !
That let me some time to find a vehicle and I've found it ! Will show you soon when I'll have it (that's an old rusty campervan but with a low mileage and good mechanical !).

But today, the sun was friendly enough to give us some time to go out from our room !
The rain just helped the birds to sing higher than ever !
The only nice surprise thanks to the rain was our new flatmate ! A young Common House Gecko !

Hemidactylus frenatus

Thanks to the sun we had this afternoon, we just moved to a little park, still in the city but next to the river and that was great to hear the birds, I missed it !

Strepera graculina

Coracina novaehollandiae

And what a nice surprise ! Surprise is the good word because I just didn't believed it when I saw it, and I was thinking it was just a worm !
I've looked under a rock, I was thinking that I will not find anything, but I was wrong. Right here, under this rock, I saw it thinking it was a worm and then... wow !!! It started moving like a snake and very fast, I understood it was a Brahminy Blind Snake !

What a small snake !

Keep it coming!

Maybe I wasn't paying attention enough to what you wrote and the seasons overthere, but no amphibians in the rain?

To be true I didn't look for amphibians because when it's raining here, it's a very strong rain ! So I stayed in my room...

I've a van, but I have to receive papers before leaving so that's quite long to wait...
The first time I drove the van from the place I bought it to the Home, I've met a nice lizard !
I love that species, blue-tongued are really beautifuls !

Tiliqua scincoides

Tonight, I've been to Mt Glorious, a road where I've already been before but I was not driving last time !
I tried to find owls and that was not really what we expected but we've been lucky to seen 2 snakes and 1 owl during the travel. (In fact there were 3 snakes but the first we met was a DOR Green tree snake).
