Recent trips near Taipei

To finish off, a few photos from earlier this year and the tail end of last year, since I didn't post them at the time.

The Taipei Green Treefrog, Rhacophorus taipeianus. A tricky guy to see, even when calling.



Rana longicrus, the Long-legged Frog, not looking particularly long-legged here.


And a few snakes and lizards encountered along the way - green tree viper, Taiwan habu, japalura and gecko.






Thanks for looking, if you got this far!

Oh wow, some really amazing pictures! Thank you for sharing. I think the Taipei Green Treefrog was my favorite, although the green tree viper is beautiful also.

Is that green tree viper, T.stejnegeri by any chance? If so, then that is my first venomous pet snake! Aw memories lol

Thank you for share ! Always look forward to your field trip reports because of the gorgeous animals, great photography and interesting stories. Hard to pick any favorites here; but the juvenile Rhacophorus prasinatus is so cute !

Yup, that's the one. Very common in the ditches on rainy nights, but no less beautiful for that.

I managed another trip out tonight in the pouring rain. My camera died halfway through the outing but I got a few smeary pics before it packed up. I'll upload some when I have the time.
