TIMOR-LESTE REPTILE & AMPHIBIAN SURVEY
PHASE VII: TO BAGUIA

Surprisingly we found very little in the way of reptiles or amphibians. We encountered several Tokay geckos (Gekko gecko gecko) in wall holes or under the dense vegetation which had taken over the roofless building and we caught a Striped treefrog (Polypedates cf. leucomystax) in a tree growing inside one of the rooms, but otherwise we came away empty handed.

On the nearby school buildings we saw more tokays and missed capturing an interesting house gecko (Hemidactylus sp.) but Paulo caught a Stub-toed gecko (Gehyra sp.) and on the hotel walls we also found Common house geckos (Hemidactylus frenatus). The Indo-Pacific house gecko (H. garnotii) is reported from Baguia but we did not find it.
