TIMOR-LESTE REPTILE & AMPHIBIAN SURVEY
NANCURO BY DAY AND NIGHT
Once the daylight disappeared we herped the bush track again, but this time in the darkness. We found the ubiquitous Asian black-spined toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus), several Striped treefrogs (Polypedates cf. leucomystax), a Mutilated gecko (Gehyra mutilata) and both the green and yellow phases of the Island pitviper (Trimeresurus insularis).
