Hi folks, during the last week of April this year I visited the Languedoc-Roussillon region in France.
It wasn’t really a herping trip, but well....you know how it goes....
Most of the days were sunny and pretty hot considering the time of year.
Here are some pics I made during this trip (herps and non herps).

Catalonian wall lizard (Podarcis liolepis)



Common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis)



Montpellier snake (Malpolon monspessulanus), d.o.r.





Juvenile ladder snake (Rhinechis scalaris), located while flipping rocks.



Grass snake (Natrix natrix astreptophora)



Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus)



Short-toed snake eagle (Circaetus gallicus)



European manthis (Mantis religiosa), ootheca + nimph





Common Yellow Scorpion (Buthus occitanus)



Scarce Swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius)



Thanks for watching,

Jelmer

Nice stuff! I feel sad for the beautiful Malpolon...
The juvenile ladder snake is stunning!

A beautiful Rhinechis! Interesting also to see the Malpolon's rear fang, thanks for sharing.

Sorry for my late reply and thanks guys!
