We spent a few weeks in Bali and loved it.
Bali is a wonderful country with loads to see and if any one is ever going there they should defiantly get in touch with the Bail reptile rescue guys they were awesome.
The only drawback I had was that both my torches died within a couple days, it may have had something to do with the humidity? I had tons of batteries but that was not the problem. I also could not find a good torch there for love or money so that sucked, but anyhow.
This is the list of herps we found and then some pictures, hope you enjoy.

Some spiders
This one look very much like the ants in that area, thought it possibly used this look to draw ants in for a meal?
Some of these guys were massive
This spider had the same body shape of a widow and also had the red under belly although not the hour glass shape but it was also huge.
The little brown male nearby was about the size of the females we get in SA. She was about as wide as a 5c piece.
