>>I have no pics of E frenata, they are found in the South. They are very hard to find, I know someone that has kept them in the past, he will have pics.

>>I'm meeting with his friend on the weekend to try round up my missing pics.

Good luck. Let us know what happens.



>>There is no skiing in TW, the snow is never deep enough and dosn't last long.

Haha! I was just kidding about that. My point was that the mtns were high enough to get snow in winter, at least.



>>Yes teparate flora does exist even at very high elevations, and where you would expect to see open plains, they are coverd in long thick inpenatrable grass almost like elephant grass in Africa, It's very frustrating.

>>



That's interesting. Did you ever see snakes (dors?) on the road in that area of high grass?



>>We find 6 different viper species 3 pit vipers. Trimeresurus gracillas, Trimeresurus mucrosqumatus and Deinagkistrodon acutus. We also find Vipera russellii siamensis, I know they react to themal cues but I'm not sure it they are true pits ?

Russellii is a true viper, not a pit. I thought they might be there. Your first pic was a juvenile russellii, wasn't it? The next pic looks like a "mamushi", like the "blomhoffi" compex Agkisrodons. Those snakes are awesome. I love the Agkistrodons. The third pic looked like a Trimeresurus spp. A fourth spp. not pictured would be the hundred pacer, D. acutus. That's the most awesome, and dangerous, Agkistrodon spp. in the world. Would love to see one of those in the wild. Did you mean there were two more species besides these first four?



>>Terry you have to come here to see for yourself

Hope I can someday.



Terry
