Sangara
(second visit)

Back at Sangara we concentrated on snakes, although we did find a Brown sheen skink (Eugongylus rufescens) in the first pile of palm fronds.

We found several more Mcdowell's bevel-nosed boas (Candoia paulsoni mcdowelli).

Also two Long-tailed keelbacks (Tropidonophis multiscutellatus), a Little ground snake (Stegonotus parvus), and two Common treesnakes (Dendrelaphis punctulatus), the larger one bearing a considerable encysted tapeworm burden.
