    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.

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

At night in the rainforest, wonder what this is?

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!
 
Great pics, thanks for sharing. Looks like a lot of fun.
