These are some of the snakes that me and my partner encountered during our herp trip to Mad.

Very jealous mate I'd love to visit Madagascar! Looks like you had a great time thanks for sharing.

Very interesting! I particularly like the Bibilava/ Liopholidophis... very cool looking snakes! Although most of the stuff from Madagascar is intriguing as apart from Sanzinia and Leioheterodon, and the VERY occasional Langaha and Madagascarophis, you don't really see many snakes from over there in Europe!

Thanks for sharing, looks like an awesome trip!

Madagascarophis should do well in captivity... I saw one specimen eating a crusty dried frog out of its on choice!

I wish we'd get Stenophis sp over here... I could really go for some of those!

Your not hitting on me are you?!!


I have found those mag 5/6's to be the best alround lights as they are powerful yet you can focus the beam in to a small area to reduce your field of vision, which I find easier when looking for stuff.

When out herping torches and batteries are vital... I had to beg borrow steal in order to get the locals to run the diesel generators thoughout the daytime so that I could recharge my batteries enough!!!

On this trip I took 3x 5 maglight 3x headlamps 2x aux torches along with 4 battery chargers and loads of disposables... The key is to use rechargable for as long as you can then switch to disposable when you have to. I think the main bulk of our over all weight was made up from batteries!
