The following is a summary report of three trips to the UAE and Oman in 2013. I had hoped to return again this year but that now seems unlikely. Last year, I was fortunate to be able to break work trips home from Spain with stops in Dubai. I used holiday time to explore these interesting...

I recently finished creating a new enclosure for my woma. I put her in a couple of weeks ago and she has been under the newspaper since. She did have blue eyes a few days after I put her in so I assumed that is why she was down there, but she hasn't moved since she has shed. I would have waited...

Well with this hot weather i decided it would be a great time for a day trip to the beach. So me and a mate decided we would head up north for a day of swimming and maybe a bit of night herping. So we were up early at 6am yesterday morning and headed north to Seal Rocks for a day of swimming and...
