My lovely fiancée, Trudy, and I, visited the Seychelles for two weeks at the start of May 2016. This was a "romantic holiday", as Trudy is not a Herper or a birder, and while I would claim to be the latter, I would never be so bold as to claim I was any good at Herping!
However, I am always on the lookout, and knew there were some key species.
I failed to find any Caecilians, Oosioglossus or Chameleon, but did see the king of all - Ailuronyx trachygaster seen feeding on a male Coco de Mer flower in the Praslin National Park. An absolute monster!!
The pics of this came out badly because I was hand held, on 65x zoom, in half-light of the forest canopy under a dark and cloudy sky. Here is a link to a short video clip of the beast.
I will upload some pics of the other species seen when I have trimmed the file sizes, as they are all too big for this forum.
