PAPUA NEW GUINEA (Oro Province)

 


PAPUA NEW GUINEA SNAKEBITE PROJECT
BROWNSNAKE HUNT

We did eventually bag several skinks despite the best intentions of the hawks.

Papuan Peninsula litter skink, Carlia curta

Back at the Ridge Owen and I explored a rotten stump near the accommodation and found a Solomons forest skink (Sphenomorphus solomonis) and a Dwarf tree gecko (Hemiphyllodactylus typus).
