Gender:  | | | | Phuket Cobra Show, snakes were in bad condition, most had noses rubbed off, though "Jimmy" the snakey was pretty good, even though the snakes were calmer than at Bankok, though you would want them to be to kiss them, the guy on the mic was pretty funny too.

| | Jellybean Club Subscriber | Join Date: Feb-06 Location: Hobbiton, Middle Earth. Gender: | | | | Most of the captive mangrove snakes had worn their noses off and looks dehydrated with skin haging off them, I was lucky enough to find a wild one though, but it was curled up asleep in a ball surrounded by foliage and didn't make for good photos. The only snakes I found were. 2 kukri snakes, 1 mangrove, 1 Golden tree snake, my wife found a sunbeam snake (though didn't get me in time) and the kids saw 1 unknown, all snakes except the mangrove were found on hotel grounds. I saw one Clouded Monitor, but couldn't get good pics, a few sp. of Draco (gliding dragons), 3 "other" sp of agamid; 1 Calotes emma, 2 Calotes mystaceus and a million Calotes vercicolor. 2 skink sp. heaps of Mabuya multifasciata, and 2 Dasia olivacea, 4 Gecko sp, and heaps of all of them, Cosymbotus platyurus, Gekko gecko, Gehyra mutilata and Hemidactylus frenatus. All snakes in the shows have fangs intact.

Awesome shots by the way!
I'll try to identify the frogs.
Polypedates megacephalus
Kaloula pulchra
Polypedates leucomystax
the Rana-species shows some characteristics of the "Hylarana erythraea", but I'm not sure about this species.
Bufo melanostictus
Bufo melanostictus
Leptobrachium smithi
Microhyla pulchra |
