Nylsvley

[Kev]

So I finaly got out of Joburg for a few days to do a bit of camping in my favorite spot.
Nylsvley is a wetland/flood plain between Naboomspruit and Nylstroom or whatever they calling them now days.
Reptile list was as follows but I didn't get pics of them all unfortunetly.
Peter's worm snake (Leptotyphlops scutifrons) I think
Short-snouted sand snake (Psammophis brevirostris) DOR had been stept on by a giraffe of all things
Beautiful banded, snouted cobra (Naja annulifera) still upset I didn't a pic.
Black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) Very dark colouration but once again no camera on hand.
Puff adder (Bitis arietans)
Southern tree agama (acanthocercus atricollis)
Waterberg dwarf gecko (Lygodactylus waterbergensis)
Eastern striped skink (Trachylepis striata)
Marsh terrapin (Pelomedusa subrufa)
Speke's hinged tortoise (Kinixys spekii)

And here are a few pics.

Very nice finds, would have loved to see the Black mamba, I especially like the Roman spider.

Thanks for sharing:).

Thanks Mr Venom, it's amazing that when you want the camers you don't have it.
I also came across this little fellow.

Lovely dentition on the Sand snake. You rarely get to see the fangs like that.
