Suggestions for Leticia, Colombia
Hey folks, just spent a week in a biological research station outside of Leticia. I got almost completely skunked and am guessing cause it was so dry. I'll detail it further in a trip report when I'm back. Really disappointing. Anyway, I'm in the area for another week. Lodges are expensive as heck. ...

Re: How do snakes act in the subtropics?
I was in Khao Sok for about 2 weeks in March, and I saw more snakes there, especially when it was raining, than anywhere else in Tland. Do the hike to the bridge at night and then poke around the river.
Cheers,

Question: Travelling and herping in Columbia
Good or bad idea?
I hear it's pretty safe now, but I like to travel on the cheap and really get into the bush. Anyone have any experience here?
Better question, does anyone know anyone doing any research there or otherwise living in Columbia?
Cheers,
Alex

Re: Thailand Question
Khao Sok should be the number 1 most recommended to you. You will encounter no dangerous trouble in Thailand. Worse that will happen is you will overpay for some things, and if you are a real sucker you might get scammed. It's a great travel destination, but the travel time is a hard pill to swallow...
