Dear Guillaume,

I was close to the area you visited around the 15 of April. This was no herping trip with friends and I only found, Uromastyx nigriventris, Agama impalearis, Trapelus ??, Tarentola boehmii, Acantodactylus ??, B. mauretanicus, but no snakes at all around Nkob. Anyway approximately 20 km towards the direction of Boumaine I found B. brongersmai in amplexus. in an nice valley. Here are some pictures.

Fantastic report, great to see so many amphibians in such a harsh environment.

@Ulrich: nice amplexus of Bufo brongersmai... never had chance to see this species...
@Guillaume: un grand merci ! I know very well this road to Ouarzazate. 40° in may in Marrakech is a lot...

Excellent! I like the first pic - very unusual landscape!
The gecko in part 2 is Tarentola mauritanica juliae
