TIMOR-LESTE REPTILE & AMPHIBIAN SURVEY
PHASE VII: THE 13th DISTRICT

The team searching a clump of bamboo	The cliff-base mossy forest

On the way to the mossy forest we searched some bamboo clumps and found them a good source for very dark specimens of Indo-Pacific gecko (Hemidactylus cf. garnotii) and some interesting invertebrates. We found these geckos fairly common, encountering them in other bamboo clumps on the hillside. We found a Bent-toed gecko (Cyrtodactylus sp.) in a termite-hollowed tree and a Striped treefrog (Polypedates cf. leucomystax) under a rock, out in the middle of the course grassy habitat a long way from the nearest tree.
