TIMOR-LESTE REPTILE & AMPHIBIAN SURVEY
PHASE IV: NEW TERRITORY cont.
After about three hours and 85 kms we reached Suai and checked intro the Castelo Fronteira Hotel.
Hinrich and Caitlin set up the prepping lab on the verandah outside the rooms while I established the photographic Cubelite set in our room where escaping reptiles could be more easily recaptured.

The Jets went out and recorded the calls of the Rice paddy frogs (Fejervarya sp.) behind the hotel and, as usual, there were Common house geckos (Hemidactylus frenatus) on the premises.
