Hello all,

I'm still going through frog and chameleon IDs, but as it's taking forever I thought I'd just get the report & photos posted.

All the best,
Neil

Gosh, Mamy, Donna and Rap! Only familiar faces there Nice to see they're doing fine. Does Rap finally handle snakes or is he still scared of them?

Thanks for sharing, brings back good old memories. Madagascar is really a very cool herping place isn't it?

Hey Bastien,

It was pretty awesome! We ended up having quite unseasonable weather but still found loads - so I can't imagine the fun you guys had when you went during Jan/Feb!

They were all great guys! I could be wrong but I think the Stenophis variabilis we got on the last night may have been the first snake Rap had held - don't think he was too keen!

Thanks again for the advice!

Excellent finds including many iconic species, definitely a dream destination!

Awesome trip report, Mada is a true herping paradise!

Can't believe you found three stenophis... three trips there and I found two !
And the Acrantophis was a nice one! Big and fat.

Thanks for sharing!

It is such an awesome destination - I'm just disappointed it took me so long to finally visit!

Yannick - it felt like I was always chasing an unattainable species count as Mamy kept on reminding me how many snakes you guys found. In the end I guess I'll take 3 Stenophis as a minor victory !

Nice one Neil, what a great trip to such a fascinating destination.

Loved the Phelsuma shots. The thought of finding those stunning lizards in the wild is reason enough to make the trip.

Raises the question, where next?
