It’s been a busy time at work but I have had a number of good finds over the past month. I have done especially well with Wagler’s pit vipers (Tropidolaemus wagleri) having seen six females, including four big adults. Furthermore, I have found two Blood pythons (Python brongersmai) who sit in ambush each evening by their holes and have been around for over a month now.
In two weeks time I will leave Phuket for six weeks travelling to the UAE, Slovakia, Hungary and then the UK.

Very nice collection. Was the Ahaetulla fasciota in Phuket. I have never seen it.
Hi Ian, yes I’ve seen two A.fasciota in Phuket in two different parts of the island. I think I’ve counted over 30 species on the island so far from my own observations, including significant range extensions on T.phuketensis.
Cheers,
Matt
