TIMOR-LESTE REPTILE & AMPHIBIAN SURVEY
JACO ISLAND

We also caught one juvenile Bent-toed gecko (Cyrtodactylus sp.). Four snakes were seen in this dense habitat, all Timor bronzebacks (Dendrelaphis inornatus timorensis), and all evaded capture. A Giant centipede (Scolopendra sp.) and a Forest scorpion (Liocheles sp.) were also met with.
