Just got back from Thailand, land of the noseless snakes (all kept in wire mesh enclosures), we did enough km's over there to get us to the moon and back, went to the far north (Burma border) down to Phuket Island in the south, and a few places in between, did some herping, though with most days over 40 deg, not to many snakeys out and about during the day, though found a few. I will post a few pics of various sites we saw, starting with some frogs, the place is a frog lovers dream, in some places, frogs bounced off your legs like ping pong balls, and there were plenty of them too, but sorry, no pics allowed

Glad to hear that you had a great trip. I am looking forward to seeing pics from your trip. Please include a few habitat shots as well.
The frogs above are great. What are the species? The sphinx was a beauty.
Regards,

Gender: | | | | We stayed a while in Chaing Mai, an hour out of town in the hills, most of the frogs were up there, they also had their own elephants on site, every morning while we ate breaky they bought them down for painting ect, not bad at it either. I would have to say Phuket zoo is a joke, animals in poor condition everywhere, whilst that wasn't as suprising as the hole in the tigers fence, I was going to put a sign above it "pat tiger free" but the wife said no....? or how about the domestic cat having a sleep at the back? the blur on the side is the tigers ear.

Gender: | | | That damb golden tree snake haunted us around the hotel, we saw it on a few occasions, even in the middle of a slough, though they can climb like no snake I've seen, even climbing on a verticle flat wall, I wasn't able to get a good pic of it
