Hi all,
I recently spent a bit of time in the northern parts of my home province, KwaZulu-Natal. The area is renown for being the 'diversity hot-spot' of the country. I didn't have too much luck this trip, although I think the drought, which has crippled the area for the past year or two, has affected activity.
Still, I did manage to see a few cool things!
Black File Snake (Gonionotophis nyassae)
This is only the second individual I've ever seen. It was right outside my cabin!
Marbled Tree Snake (Dipsadoboa aulica)
Found by my friend in the shower.
Vine Snake (Thelotornis capensis)
Staff, at the one place that I was staying at, were getting their slingshots ready to kill this beaut. I tried to photograph it, but only managed to get one or two shots before needing to remove it.
Brown House Snake (Boaedon capensis)
Rhombic Egg-eater (Dasypeltis scabra)
Van Dam's Worm Lizard (Zygaspis vandami)
Flap-necked Chameleon (Chamaeleo dilepis)
Mottled Shovel-nosed Frog (Hemisus marmoratus)
African Bullfrog (Pyxiecephalus edulis)
Shovel-footed Squeaker (Arthroleptis stenodactylus)
Brown-backed Tree Frog (Leptopelis mossambicus)
Hope you enjoyed the post!
Regards,
Nick Evans
