I am going to visit places recommended by Peter Janzen and:
Ambalangoda
Horton Plains NP

Have stumbled upon quite funny paper http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/sillymolecule ... appens.pdf I plan to herp at night despite being afraid of being bitten by gangs of wild dogs. Near Hikkaduwa there is Telwatta Bird Sanctuary and 2 lakes, however mangroves are propably destroyed. There are also some ponds according to google maps - https://www.google.pl/maps/place/6%C2%B ... !1s0x0:0x0 I will check them and post in this thread up to date. Daniel Bohle sent me an email with http://www.scharf-links.de/42.0.html?&t ... af2bf69fc1 so I am not taking with me any aquariums, boxes and even net. All advices, links are wellcome, also those regarding photographing herptiles at night.
