Costa Rica Field Herping (Pics)

I just got back from Costa Rica, was based in Santa Elena/Monteverde area. A little cold for most herps and the dry season, but I found a few. I'm planning on going back shortly.


In the cloud forest.


Bromeliads everywhere.


View of the active Areal Volcano from our cabin.


Me running around on the streambed in the middle of the rainforest.


This is what I caught along the stream, a semi-aquatic anole, Norops oxylophus.


At night in the rainforest, wonder what this is?


Digging


Adult female Megaphobema mesomelas!!!


A fairly uncommon species found in a bromeliad about 10 feet off the ground, Eleutherodactylus hylaeformis, male. Bad pic.


Me climbing around a tree looking for herps about 20 feet off the ground on a steep slope, sound fun?

wow very nice! I went to Tamarindo last year for some surfing. It was april, super hot and dry! I did see some geckos and some various small lizards, as well as many iggys, greens and spiney taileds. I also saw some American Crocs. All the beaches were on river mouths, so it was kinda scary when you drifted right in the river. Nice pics though!
