January-May critters

Post by Ecto Hunter »

As some of you guys know, I've been working in Costa Rica since May and won't return to my home in Georgia until the beginning of August. It's torrentially raining at the moment, so I suppose I'll be productive and throw up some photos I've been sitting on.

That's some great variety there! I've been trying to find more salamanders but I seem to have stagnated in what I can find. Hopefully I can turn that around later this fall and winter.

Keep up the good work turning up a nice diversity of species. :)

Great stuff as always, Robb. While I never thought I'd say this, I think the ringneck's my favorite.

I'm ready to see the massive Costa Rica post you're going to have to put together so the rest of us can live vicariously.

Excellent finds and photos! I really like some of your wide angle shots that show some of the habitat with the snakes. Well done!
