thanks fooble. I lived in the national park for a year and never really herped. Much regret! Must say the venemous snakes i saw outnumbered the nons by atleast 2 to 1. Awesome place though. Would love to go back.

What species have you seen from that area would be interested to know.
Their reptile list was horribly outdated when i saw it earlier this year.
